Andrew Berry may or may not attempt to bolster the Cleveland Browns’ wide receiver corps this offseason.

Deandre Hopkins could be available for trade or if the Titans release him to free up salary cap space.

A recent statement by Cleveland’s social media crew suggests that Hopkins is not on the organization’s radar.

However, after claiming Dustin Hopkins is the only “D-Hop” they know, Tennessee’s future Hall of Famer answered (via Deandre Hopkins on Twitter).

Deandre Hopkins responded with a meme showing him dodging gunfire in an impressive manner.

He appeared to have taken the Browns’ “attack” with the desired level of humor.

We can presume that anyone who follows the NFL has heard of the other D-Hop, which is located outside Cleveland.

Since joining the league, Deandre has accumulated over 12,000 receiving yards.

And if the former Texan and Cardinal plays a full season, he could have over 1,000 catches with Tennessee by 2024.

Cleveland was hyping up their D-Hop following a successful season of his own.

Dustin Hopkins made a career-high 91.7% of his 36 field goal attempts.

He converted 8 field goals in 8 attempts from beyond 50 yards, including a new personal best of 58.

Cleveland went 5-0 in games decided by one field goal or fewer in 2023.

If the other D-Hop becomes available, will he consider partnering with Dustin in Cleveland?

Deandre Hopkins had some All-Pro seasons catching passes from Deshaun Watson in Houston.

And it would be intriguing to see how the Browns’ social media crew will welcome him.

New NFL Salary Cap Has a Significant Impact On Browns’ Finances.

As the Cleveland Browns aim to bolster their roster for next season, they recently received some lucky salary cap news.

As a positive to their desire to recruit big-name free agents this offseason, the Browns are slightly over the salary limit by $7.7 million, with $30 million in rollover cap (via Spencer German on Twitter).

The Rule of 51 dictates that the current salary cap only counts for the 51 most expensive players on the roster.

The rule extends until the start of the new NFL season and provides additional leeway for teams during free agency.

All in all, the Browns’ current salary cap sits at $286,090,254, which includes just under $15 million in dead cap space, which is guaranteed salary yet to be paid out.

As a result, the Browns may be able to make a major free agent signing, as fans expect.

Specifically, they will aggressively pursue a top wide receiver like Mike Evans, Gabe Davis, Tee Higgins, or Calvin Ridley.

Being so close to the salary cap may also allow the Browns to re-sign last season’s hero, Joe Flacco, who is expected to command a good pay as a backup or starter.

The salary cap increased from $224.8 million to $255.4 million this offseason, which contributes to the Browns’ proximity to it.

However, if the Browns are serious about adding major names to their roster for next season, more effort must be done.

This could include making trades, removing players, or revising contracts to free up cap money.

Analyst Sends Strong Message Regarding Recent Browns Reports

The time between the Super Bowl and free agency can be arduous and tedious for NFL journalists and analysts.

It is no different for Cleveland Browns experts who may expand on implausible situations during the “Silly Season.”

However, the massive flood of podcasters, social media, and artificial intelligence has increased the number of non-news.

And 92.3 The FAN’s Darryl Ruiter felt the problem needed to be addressed.

Ruiter vented on social media, decrying the age of “uninformed stupidity.”

While he does not specifically identify Nick Chubb or David Njoku, the post was most likely prompted by speculations about them.

Cleveland has 32 players under contract with no guaranteed money in 2024.

Each of them may be identified as a potential wage cap casualty in due course.

Putting Nick Chubb at the top of that list, however, seems sensationalistic, if not journalistic malpractice.

Nick Chubb’s knee issue raises reasonable concerns about expected deal talks.

However, Andrew Berry has made it clear that he wants to see Chubb wear Browns orange again on the field.

Following that rumor, rumors about a David Njoku cut or trade has agitated insiders such as Ruiter.

Njoku had the sixth-highest number of TE catches and yards this season, and his six touchdowns matched for second-most.

While Njoku’s $14.5 million compensation leads the way for 2024, his cap hit is less than $10 million, ranking 14th.

Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot decided to “report” that the Browns do not want to cut Chubb.
