Team- and player-friendly NFL contracts at six positions

The topic of the "best" and "worst" contracts in the NFL is complex because of the complexity of league's contract structure. Sure, we can take a look at Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million deal with the Browns and throw it right into the second bucket. Complete disaster for the team. Watson was suspended for the first 11 games of the deal and hasn't been able to show consistent health or play in any of its first three years. He's injured now and could sit out the upcoming season, and the Browns still have to pay him a fully guaranteed $46 million for 2025 and again in 2026.
