The "$100.5 million star" is Myles Garrett (traded to the Rams on June 1). The next Browns defender most likely to be traded is Denzel Ward — but Grant Delpit is also squarely in the mix.
Here's the breakdown:
Denzel Ward (CB) — The clearest candidate. The Browns can clear over $17M in cap space by trading him before Nov. 4. He has zero guaranteed money left on his deal, and at 29 years old with a 5× Pro Bowl résumé, contenders would line up. CBS Sports has specifically identified the 49ers as a possible landing spot.

Grant Delpit (S) — The Athletic's Zac Jackson recommends trading him alongside Ward to fully embrace the rebuild. Delpit's in a contract year with $0 guaranteed, a $12M cap hit, and the Browns already drafted his replacement (Emmanuel McNeil-Warren) on Day 2. He also skipped voluntary OTAs, which is rarely a great sign. (from the Grant Delpit page)
The Athletic's argument is that the Browns carry the second-most dead money in the NFL ($116.8M) and should follow Denver's blueprint — rip the band-aid off, trade the veterans, and reset the cap completely. So don't be surprised if both Ward and Delpit are moved before the deadline.
