The Cleveland Browns are moving on from quarterback Deshaun Watson after three disappointing seasons. Owner Jimmy Haslam described Watson as a "big swing and miss" at the NFL Owners Meeting, acknowledging the significant draft capital and financial commitment made in acquiring him. Despite Watson remaining on the roster due to financial considerations, his time as the starter is effectively over. Currently recovering from a re-injury to his Achilles, Watson is likely to land on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the 2025 season. The Browns have already made moves to revamp their quarterback situation by trading for Kenny Pickett and are preparing for the upcoming draft.
