Browns free up $36M with Watson restructure
Briefly

The Cleveland Browns have restructured quarterback Deshaun Watson's contract, creating $35.832 million in salary cap space, giving them over $62 million in total.
Cleveland is expected to roll over the majority of this cap space for financial flexibility into the 2025 offseason, where they face $44 million over the cap.
Historically, the Browns have been aggressive in restructuring the contracts of high-priced players, including Watson, to maintain short-term financial flexibility.
While not extending Watson's contract, the restructure does solidify the Browns' commitment to him, as it comes with substantial dead cap implications if they move on.
