How much of that is roll over vs. actual cap space I wonder.

Believe I heard somewhere that approximately $30 million of that is rollover, but I'll see if I can find exact numbers.
EDIT: Exact numbers on the right side panel.

I wonder if we try and rollover again to help over the next few years with all the players we will have to re-sign or try to use it to grab a guy from a team in cap space hell for draft pick. I do like having a group of analytics guys running the cap though. I do not think Dorsey did us any favors.
Was kinda thinking the same thing. Extensions for Myles, Ward, and Baker are gonna be here before we know it.
Thus far, I think they’ve done a good job of fielding talent while retaining future flexibility.
I agree, plus the cap goes up a ton next year, so should open more money to front load, or do big bonus to help the cap down the road.
The Chronicle-Telegram's Scott Petrak believes free agent Everson Griffen is on the Browns' radar.
This isn't surprising given the connections to the Browns' coaching staff. Griffen was with Kevin Stefanski and DC Joe Woods for multiple seasons in Minnesota. The Browns can save $5 million from releasing Olivier Vernon and have been linked to pass rushers to book end with Myles Garrett. After opting out of his Vikings contract, Griffen may have to settle for one-year offers.
how much of an upgrade would Griffen be?

I can't answer that, but even if he provides Vernon's production at a much lower rate that's a big win. I think we'll be rotating guys opposite Myles rather than having someone that really anchors that side. The one exception could be pulling a stud out of the draft.
There is no sugar-coating it: comparing these two right defensive ends is a study in how frustrating free agency can be.
Everson Griffen was coming off a very frustrating 2018, missing the Pro Bowl for the first time in three straight great years. His missed tackles were up to 6 in only 11 games. Griffen's quarterback hits and tackles for losses were cut in half from his usual. So, he restructured the last year of his deal and returned to his usual form in 2019.
Then we look over at Vernon. His quarterback hits and sacks were both cut in half as well. Most alarming: he went from one missed tackle in 2018 to 8. In short, he had the kind of stinker of an individual performance that caused Griffen to restructure his last year of his contract.
My guess is that this has come up as a way to pressure Vernon's reps to consider a restructure.
The other problem is that season-to-season defense is very hard to isolate as a "true decline", mainly because defense is so variable season-to-season.Griffen is likely to be cheaper because of his age, and is slightly more reliable to stay on the field and produce.
However, at his peak, Vernon is simply a better player. Vernon is truly a beast when he's healthy.
