Is Deshaun Watson done playing in the NFL?
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam admitted for the first time last week that the 2022 trade for Watson was a failure.
It’s unclear if the quarterback will ever play another in-game down of football for the Cleveland Browns after Browns owner Jimmy Haslam stated that the club “took a big swing and miss with” the acquisition of Watson in March 2022 that included handing him a fully guaranteed five-year, $230M contract.
Watson’s future with the Cleveland Browns might be over, and it seems the remainder of his career might be over as well.
That seems to be the opinion of one or more anonymous NFL employees.
Speaking to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN, an unnamed executive from an NFC team and an unnamed NFL agent are sure that Deshaun Watson might not ever play in the NFL again.
The executive stated that if he were released, he would be unlikely to find a team willing to pay him anything he wanted.
“If released, I don’t see anyone picking him up,” the NFC unnamed executive said.
“And then, down the road, the question will be, will he take low-QB money? Would he even be motivated to play at that point?”
The agent told Oyefusi that the league tends to be forgiving of good quarterback play but stated that “some owners” could give Watson a chance if he proves that he’s healthy.
“The league is forgiving with quarterbacks that have exhibited high-level talent,” the unnamed agent told Oyefusi. “There is a shortage of good QB play. That’s why I think a team could take a chance on him if he proves healthy. Some owners could have a problem with that because of the past, but not all.”
Deshaun Watson Is Unlikely To Play In 2025
The Cleveland Browns took a massive gamble on Deshaun Watson.
Now, two years into his fully guaranteed $230 million contract, the team is well aware that things aren’t going to get better.
Watson underwent surgery in January after tearing his right Achilles tendon again.
Watson’s “recovery time and return to play status is uncertain, and he will likely miss significant time during the 2025 season,” the Browns said in a statement at the time.
In reality, even if he does recover in time, the team is unlikely to play him as they don’t want him injured and likely plan to part ways with him next offseason.

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.
GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.
GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.
Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.
For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.
As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.

“They better have some awesome clothing to choose from. Gotta look cute while doing missions,” a second fan added.
A third fan knew they were no match for her: “If I was in a beauty contest against her, she’d get first place, and I’d get disqualified.”
“She’s beautiful, my sapphic heart can’t take it 🤧,” another X user added.
“not leaving my house anytime soon,” a fan stated about the impending release of the game.
“No arsenal, but ima be a gooner for sure, a sixth fan added.
One final fan added: “Anybody upset about a video game character needs to seriously reevaluate their life.”
