Deshaun Watson Open To Contract Restructure
2 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is open to restructuring his contract in the next week to help the team get under the 2023 salary cap and to clear space to add quality veterans in free agency or trades, according to a league source. General manager Andrew Berry mentioned at the combine last week that a restructure for Watson "could be on the table." Cleveland is more than $13.415 million over the cap and must get under by March 15. Watson carries a $54.993 million cap charge for this year and for the next three years. The Browns could also look to lower the cap charges of Myles Garrett ($29.176 million) and Amari Cooper ($23.776 million), among others. The 27-year-old Watson returned to the field in 2022 for the first time in two years and had 1,102 passing yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions in six starts.
