Browns Restructure Watson's Contract, Release Huntley
News summary

The Cleveland Browns have restructured quarterback Deshaun Watson's contract for the third consecutive year, converting $44.79 million of his base salary into a signing bonus. This move frees up $35.832 million in cap space, giving the Browns a league-high $62 million in total cap space. Watson, who signed a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million deal in 2022, has struggled with injuries and inconsistent performance, playing only 12 games and recording modest stats. The team is counting on Watson to return to form and lead them to a Super Bowl, bolstered by a strong defense led by Myles Garrett and new offensive additions like receiver Jerry Jeudy. Meanwhile, the Browns have released quarterback Tyler Huntley, as Dorian Thompson-Robinson's strong preseason secured him a spot behind Watson and Jameis Winston.
