Yahoo Sports NFL on Deshaun Watson

Watson's $230M contract has yielded injuries and poor production since 2022.

After signing a five-year, fully-guaranteed $230 million contract with the Browns in March 2022, Watson has failed to deliver on that investment. He was suspended 11 games in 2022, returned rusty with seven passing touchdowns and five interceptions in five games to finish the season, suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in 2023 (seven passing touchdowns, four interceptions in six games), and ruptured his Achilles in 2024 (five passing touchdowns, three interceptions in seven starts). The source notes Watson 'hasn't come close to replicating' his star-level play from Houston.
