I was under the impression that the other team could pick that up too? I might be wrong but didn't the Browns do something like that a couple years back?

I would think a team would have to be pretty desperate to take on a 25 million contract and an injured player who has not played but a few games in the last 3 years now.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. So, you just never know what a team will do. Especially the Browns.

Not sure Crusader. This is a big question

Okay. Found what I was thinking about.

Texans trade Brock Osweiler, 2018 second-round pick to Browns

The Texans were trying to dump future guaranteed salary, not dead cap.

Speaking of (ex)Falcons, Matt Ryan is back at it. This time with the Colts against the Vikings.

Nope. Dead cap is the accounting for monies already spent in terms of bonuses and such. It is already on the team's books and cannot be transferred. Team can, however, negotiate the future base pay, but that already goes with the player to the new team. The trading team can, and has, agreed to cover part of that pay to move the player. That's not what you were hoping. I believe that's what you were thinking about in that Browns deal. Was it with the Texans, perhaps? It was a QB.
