The Cleveland Browns have signed a lot of players to big deals in the last few seasons as they hope to finally put a championship-level team on the field. Those deals have led to a lot of conversations around the Browns salary cap while GM Andrew Berry has restructured deal after deal this offseason.

Cleveland has not been alone in signing big contracts as a ton of big deals have been completed around the NFL just in the last 365 days.

With Week 1 kicking off for 30 of the 32 teams, very few new contracts will be signed over the next couple of months. A great time to review where some of the Browns big contracts rank compared to the rest of the NFL:
