The Browns own 100% of the team so that is cold hard cash that could come their way. They also could add millions more to their coffers by selling naming rights to PBS.
The problem goes so much further than dollars and cents. It starts with an owner who wants to run his team like it is still 1985. It is an owner who won't let any of the "power" positions go to anyone outside the family and Duke Tobin (who should have been fired with Marvin) who might as well be family at this point. It's an owner that while smart is almost paralyzed by the idea of change Its an owner who was raised by the greatest football mind in the history of the NFL who seemingly inherited none of that but seems to think he has.
As long as the ownership and management structure remains the same we will get the same results regardless of how much they spend
Franchise values will keep going up every year too.
Probably the only thing that would make him sell would be IF the NFL got a terrible CBA that made it hard for small market teams to survive. I doubt that ever happens though.
