NFL Free Agency Rumors: Browns make decision on Sam Darnold | Image Source: Getty
"What happened to Deshaun Watson" is a question that has been thrown around quite often this year. The Browns' franchise quarterback appeared a shadow of himself for most of the year and failed to justify the $230 million deal the franchise handed him, all of which is guaranteed money, of course.
In late December, the Browns and Watson agreed to restructure his contract, spreading out the $92 million by adding two void years into his deal, allowing the franchise to push it all the way to 2030, when the salary cap figure will be revised.
That move means the Browns will likely have Watson on the roster in 2025 and maybe a few years beyond, which poses an interesting question for their QB room next year. Will they rely on a soon-to-be 30-year-old QB recovering from an Achilles tear or explore other options?
