The Browns are stuck with Deshaun Watson as QB — but their contract is rigged to force his exit by March 2027, triggering an $86.2M dead cap hit. Signed for $230M in 2022, the deal includes a “poison pill” that makes his salary fully guaranteed if he’s still on the roster after the 2027 league year. Even a Super Bowl run won’t save him — Cleveland’s financial handcuffs mean he’s destined to be cut, making the whole situation feel like handing keys to someone already planning to leave.
