The Cleveland Browns have reached an agreement to restructure the DESHAUN Watson contract again.
The browns surprised the NFL in 2022 when the Quarterback in Cleveland arrived at a fully guaranteed five -year -old, $ 230 million deal of the Texans in Houston.
However, Watson did not succeed in influencing the franchise, and doubts doubts about his future and his blockbuster contract.
The signal call is limited to only 19 games in three seasons due to an NFL suspension and injuries with the browns.
But the browns have negotiated a way to keep Watson in Cleveland and, according to the Field Yates of ESPN, to release almost $ 36 million in CAP space of 2025.
The agreement only takes three months after the browns have taken a step to restructure Watson's contract. In December the franchise reached an agreement with the Quarterback with which they can distribute the salary-cap hit after the 2026 season.

The move added an invalid year for 2028, so that the Browns Cap was given flexibility after 2026, the last year about the Watson deal.
The browns have been a big disappointment after reaching the play-offs a year ago behind Joe Flacco, who was signed as a free agent after Watson had sustained a seasonal shoulder injury.
Watson was operated on in October and is expected to fully recover. Although the team did not announce his plans at Quarterback, it is assumed that Watson will be in the mix next season to be the starter.
However, that is not expected to prevent the browns in April to prepare Vers Quarterback talent in the NFL design.
The browns hold the no. 2 overall choice and are expected to be set and select Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders in the position, ESPNs reported earlier this month.
The team has not had a pick in the first round in the last three years after trading three to the Texans in Houston to acquire Watson, who was once considered one of the elite QBs of the competition.
Watson's disappointing term of office – he has not thrown 300 meters in any game – has been a painful place at Cleveland -fans, who had hoped that the team had finally solved his endless QB problems when they signed the triple Pro Bowler three years ago.

But it was not successful, and the most important investment in Watson and the salary -cap – making his contract – the largest fully guaranteed deal in competition history – have made it difficult for the browns to upgrade their selection.
Watson has shown that flashes are a competent starting quarterback, but there have been just as many times when he looked hesitantly in the bag or is unable to connect with recipients in the field.
Watson was suspended for the first 11 games of his first season in Cleveland after an independent referee ruled that he had violated the behavioral policy after he was accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions.
Since an operation, Watson has recovered his Achilles injury. He has not spoken to reporters for months.
