Cleveland Key Player Sustain Severe Injury Which May……..
The Cleveland Browns could be strong candidates in 2024, but if quarterback Deshaun Watson is prepared to make a small sacrifice, the team’s chances of making its first-ever Super Bowl trip will significantly increase.
With his restricted schedule and generally subpar performance in his on-field time during the previous two seasons, Watson’s $230 million fully-guaranteed contract is possibly the worst in the NFL. That argument may be made, in part, because it will make it more difficult for the front office to bring in talent when it comes to him, especially in the next three years when his salary cap hit will be just under $64 million yearly.
However, on Friday, January 26, Watson publicly urged Tee Higgins, a wide receiver with the Cincinnati Bengals, to accompany him in “The Land.” Watson mentioned that the squad plans to throw the ball more often in 2024 and emphasized his and Higgins’ shared Clemson connection.
On Sunday, though, Barry Shuck of SB Nation’s Dawgs By Nature pointed out the Browns’ awkward financial predicament—they are currently $20.5 million in the deficit.
“The problem is that Clemson isn’t paying the bills, and the Browns don’t appear to have any room to pay another high-priced player who had an off-year and was repeatedly injured,” Shuck wrote. “Then again, if Watson wants Higgins so badly, maybe he will renegotiate his contract and take less money so that the magic can happen.”
