## Resource

The Deshaun Watson era in Cleveland is officially over, with the Browns poised to move on by next March. Watson’s massive $230M deal has been a financial rollercoaster — he’s played just 19 games since signing in 2022. With his Achilles injury sidelining him for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025, the Browns are set to receive a hefty injury insurance credit — estimated at $18M–$26M — in 2026. This cap relief will help them navigate the post-Watson years (2027–2029) while giving Watson a fresh start as a free agent. It’s a win-win: he gets his money, they get breathing room.
