A depth-level roster move with minimal immediate fantasy or competitive impact for Cleveland. Headlines highlight Cannella's elevation alongside Bailey Zappe, suggesting emergency roster management rather than strategic planning. The key signal is his nearly six-year journey through the UFL before cracking an NFL active roster. Fans are buzzing mainly because Harold Fannin Jr. is questionable, making this a necessity move. Cannella is unlikely to stick long-term unless injuries force extended opportunities.

This signing grades out as an overpay for the Cleveland Browns — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Sal's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL TEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $885K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the TE market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Sal is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
