Cleveland Browns’ GM Won’t Commit to Deshaun Watson Being on Team in 2025

Watson, who is out for the season with a torn Achilles, has the lowest QBR in the NFL but has the largest contract in terms of guaranteed money.

After tearing his Achilles tendon in a Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, quarterback Deshaun Watson’s 2024 NFL season is over. However, comments from the Cleveland Browns’ general manager have many wondering if Watson’s tenure in Cleveland is over as well.

With the trade deadline in the rearview mirror, and the Browns having a bye in Week 10, the team’s general manager, Andrew Berry, held a press conference on Wednesday to give a state of the team. Naturally, the topic of Watson’s future came up and Berry was asked what his plans were for Watson in 2025.
