Think that the Cleveland Browns need to move on from Deshaun Watson? Well, the structure of his contract makes that easier said than done.
In the modern NFL, having a talented quarterback is a key part of success. While there are some exceptions to the rule—the 2000 Baltimore Ravens defense was so good, for example, that Trent Dilfer earned a Super Bowl ring—the signal-caller is largely running the show.That thought process is presumably what the Cleveland Browns were thinking when they acquired Deshaun Watson. Since the trade was consummated, though, things haven't gone according to plan.
That's world-class player money; Watson, whether it's his fault or not, hasn't lived up to that billing.Watson Can't Be Cut Without Massive ConsequencesGiven that Watson's current performances aren't worth upward of $60 million per season, you might think that the Browns will try to get out of the contract.Moving on, however, is easier said than done.
