A restructure of Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed contract "could be on the table" in the words of Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry.
Watson was a bargain for the Browns in 2022, the first year of his five-year, $230 million deal. He had a $9.4 million salary cap hit.
Starting in 2023, the three-time Pro Bowler's on-field value will be reflected in his cap number. He'll count for nearly $55 million in each of the next four seasons, thus giving Cleveland an obvious reason to rework his overall payouts.
Per Over the Cap, a restructure would save $33.
