Deshaun Watson Not Expected to Play in 2025

Browns QB Deshaun Watson, who returned to practice after a twice-torn Achilles tendon, is not expected to play in 2025. The team wants to preserve insurance on his contract and avoid cap acceleration. His $46 million for 2026 is guaranteed, and he's expected to be on the roster. He may have an incentive to play well to land elsewhere in 2027.
