Browns and Deshaun Watson Agree to Five-Year Contract
Quarterback Inks $230 Million Deal with Cleveland
A Look at the Contract Details and Watson's Net Worth
In a major move that has sent shockwaves through the NFL, quarterback Deshaun Watson has signed a five-year, $230 million contract with the Cleveland Browns. The deal, which includes a $44.965 million signing bonus and $230 million guaranteed, is the largest guaranteed contract in NFL history.
The 27-year-old Watson, who played for the Houston Texans from 2017 to 2020, was traded to the Browns in March after a highly publicized quarterback carousel. Watson, a three-time Pro Bowler and former Rookie of the Year, has a net worth of approximately $60 million.
The Browns' decision to sign Watson is a major gamble, as the quarterback has been accused of multiple sexual misconduct allegations. However, Cleveland's front office believes that Watson's talent on the field outweighs the risk.
The signing of Watson is a major coup for the Browns, who have been searching for a franchise quarterback for years. With Watson under center, Cleveland hopes to compete for a Super Bowl in the near future.
