Browns Lock In Watson Despite Financial Burden | NFL News
Description
The Cleveland Browns are locked into Deshaun Watson as their 2026 starter despite a four-year nightmare marked by injuries, suspensions, and stats that don’t match his $230M guaranteed contract — a deal still the NFL’s richest at signing. Cutting him would cost them over $127M in dead cap, trapping them in a sunk-cost trap. Even with draft picks like Gabriel and Sanders, they’re stuck: Watson’s name is on the roster, and the money’s already written in stone.
