Jerry Jeudy contract details How much are the Browns paying their new WR

The Browns made a major move this offseason in an attempt to upgrade their offense.Cleveland for Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy for two late-round draft picks. Le s than a week later, the Browns handed Jeudy a new three-year contract despite Jeudy never eclipsing 1,000 receiving yards in any of his four NFL seasons.Jeudy signed a three-year, $52.5 million contract with his new team, according to . That deal is worth $17.5 million per year, which currently ranks 19th among all wide receivers in 2024. It also comes with $41 million guaranteed,$28.01 million of which is newly guaranteed money, according to .The almost 25-year-old wideout was on the final year of J.T. Compher Women Jersey his rookie contract after the Broncos did not pick up his fifth-year option this past offseason. That means that this new deal doesn't technically start until 2025 but, as , this deal alters the one that had been restructured before the trade.Here's a further breakdown of Jeudy's new deal, per Breer and OTC2024 cash: $18.997 million (signing bonus + base)2025salary: $16 million (fully guaranteed)2026 base salary:$13.487 million2027 base salary: $17 millionThe deal also includes four void years starting in 2028 for salary cap purposesBrowns salary cap situation post-Jeudy Samuel Girard Men Jersey tradeAs previously noted, this deal doesn'treallyaffect the Browns' salary cap much because of all the void years. Jeudy's cap hit in 2024 will only be $4.7 million, which is about 1.6% of Cleveland's salary cap this year.This number slowly rises over the next three years to $7.975 million in 2025 (3.1%), $10.372 million in 2026 (3.7%) and $13.472 million in 2026 (4.3%). The remaining $28.9 million would be saved if the Browns move on from Jeudy before 2028.So as of this writing, the Browns have about $2.55 million in salary cap space, according to Over The Cap.Jeudy's fit in Browns' offensePerhaps more important than the money situation is Jeudy's Blake Comeau Women Jersey role in Kevin Stefanski's offense.The Browns desperately needed another reliable pa s-catcher in 2023 behind Amari Cooper. Elijah Moore finished third in targets with 59 13 behind Cooper while tight end David Njoku actually led the team with 81 targets. The next-closest wide receiver was rookie Cedric Tillman, who saw just 21 targets. Running back Jerome Ford finished fourth with 44 targets.This is where Jeudy comes in. He's seen at least 85 targets come his way in three out of his fourth seasons all of which he played in at least 15 games.Jeudy played almost 60% of his snaps out of the slot in 2023, meaning Stefanski could keep him primarily in the middle and intermediate areas of the field and move Moore to the Jonathan Bernier Men Jersey outside more with Cooper. Moore split time between the slot and out wide in 2023 after he began his career with the New York Jets mostly as an outside receiver.This knocks Tillman down to fourth on the wide receiver depth chart and fifth or sixth as a pa s-catching option. That's not nece sarily a bad thing considering he's still a raw prospect who Carl Soderberg Men Jersey doesn't need to be thrown into the fire in Year 2.The Browns proved capable of putting together solid offensive performances even without consistency at quarterback, running back and wide receiver. Jeudy is a le s consistent and more expensive option than other ones out there, but he's a proven player who doesn't need to be Deshaun Watson's No. 1 target immediately.Cleveland is playing with fire when it comes to the salary cap, but they already started that movement when the Browns handed Watson his gaudy fully guaranteed deal in 2022.
