Watson starts season opener but has no guaranteed role beyond week 1.

Watson will start for the Browns in the season opener Sunday, but nothing is promised to him beyond that game. His fully guaranteed, five-year, $230 million contract expires after this season, making this a prove-it year where he must demonstrate he can still perform at an elite level.
