The adjustment, which is technically an extension by adding a new year to the existing contract but no new money, is intended to help the Browns field a competitive roster for 2025 and beyond. Watson has $46 million due to him over the next two years to complete the $230 million contract signed in 2022.

A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press the Cleveland Browns have again restructured quarterback Deshaun Watson's massive contract to create salary-cap space and give them future flexibility.

Deshaun Watson is in his third season with the Cleveland Browns. They just restructured his contract for the third time. According to The Athletic, the player and team have agreed to a restructure that will not affect the $92 million in fully guaranteed money Watson is owed for the 2025 and 2026 seasons,
