The NFL\u2019s pursuit of the 2024-2025 Lombardi Trophy has narrowed to just four contenders heading into next Sunday\u2019s conference championships.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the other 28 teams are already shifting their focus toward the 2025 season. The NFL calendar waits for no one \u2013 scouting events are underway, the combine is set for late February, and free agency looms on the horizon.<\/p>\n

As teams prepare to strengthen their rosters, Bleacher Report has highlighted some notable potential cap casualties across the league.<\/p>\n

The Cleveland Browns find themselves in a particularly tight spot, as noted by BR NFL Scouting Department.<\/p>\n

Their challenging salary cap situation, partly due to Deshaun Watson\u2019s hefty contract, means some tough personnel decisions lie ahead.<\/p>\n

Browns star Jack Conklin\u2019s name has emerged as a prime candidate for release as the team seeks financial flexibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Browns find themselves in one of the worst cap situations in the league. Jack Conklin could be the first to go. He\u2019s one of the few players who could be cut before June 1 and clear some cap space. There\u2019s only $4.6 million available in cap relief, but every bit is going to help Cleveland. If they make him a post-June 1 cut, he would clear $14.6 million,\u201d Bleacher Report said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The timing of Conklin\u2019s potential release could significantly impact the Browns\u2019 cap relief.<\/p>\n

Conklin\u2019s recent injury struggles, combined with Dawand Jones\u2019 emergence on the offensive line, make this move increasingly likely.<\/p>\n

The Browns\u2019 cap-clearing options don\u2019t end there. Linebacker Jordan Hicks could be another casualty, offering $4.2 million in relief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
