The Cleveland Browns will be without quarterback Deshaun Watson for the foreseeable future, including significant time in the 2025 season. The controversial Watson suffered a second rupture of his right Achilles tendon and had surgery to fix the issue.

The Browns gave Watson a massive contract — $230 million — when acquired from the Houston Texans. It is generally regarded as the worst pact in NFL history given the returns on the field.
Watson has gone 9-10 in three seasons, throwing 19 touchdowns against 12 interceptions.
The Browns pick second overall in the 2025 draft and Watson’s injury should play a large role in whether they draft a quarterback.
