I don't think it will just be FA feeling the heat. This past off-season, we saw several RBs, like Mixon, take a pay cut to avoid being a cap casualty.
Looking at a guy like Nick Chubb, who will be coming back from serious injury, the Browns can either pay him $15.8 million or cut him to save nearly 12 million. My guess is they renegotiate his deal. Someone like James Connor could also be asked to take a pay cut or released. I'm sure there are others.
