The Cleveland Browns have once again restructured quarterback Deshaun Watson‘s contract, a source told ESPN’s Field Yates, clearing nearly $36 million in salary cap space that will make Cleveland cap compliant ahead of the new league year.
Before the restructuring of Watson’s deal Thursday morning, the Browns were about $22 million over the cap.
Watson, 29, has two years remaining on the five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million contract he signed in March 2022 and is still owed $46 million in each of the next two seasons. He has been rehabbing at the Browns’ practice facility in Berea, Ohio, after retearing his right Achilles tendon three months after the initial injury in October.
