Browns Likely to Part Ways with Deshaun Watson by 2027

A recent video featuring ESPN's Adam Schefter suggested that Deshaun Watson might remain with the Cleveland Browns until 2027, causing concern among fans who wish to see him leave the team.

Reports indicate that the Browns have little chance of retaining Watson beyond this year. According to CBS Sports' John Breech, the restructuring of Watson's contract includes a critical deadline: if he is still on the roster by March 13, 2027, a $200 million salary becomes fully guaranteed. To avoid this, the team must release him before that date.

Watson's performance has been under scrutiny, as he faced an 11-game suspension in 2022 and has struggled with injuries, limiting him to 19 starts since joining the Browns. Despite the financial implications of his contract, there are indications that both Watson and the team are looking towards a separation in the near future.
