And they're not gonna trade for him to play for a single season, especially when a supposed unwillingness to play on his current deal has him sitting anyway.
The Browns aren't a realistic option, nor does his cap hit this year matter a ton given that he'll be traded to a team where he'll sign an extension and lower that hit anyway.
There are maybe 20 teams in the league that can realistically trade for him - the Browns don't appear to be among them.
