====================
When a team fires the coach, they are on the hook for the majority of staff as well. Why don’t teams put in performance clauses that would mitigate the buyouts? The Browns will be paying Callahan 15 million through 2028. Why? All this wasted money on staff an players contracts is ridiculous.
