Deshaun Watson has cost the Browns more than just money

The Cleveland Browns sent a shockwave through the NFL on Friday with the news that quarterback Deshaun Watson had re-injured his surgically repaired Achilles tendon.

Watson underwent surgery to fix the latest tear, which, depending on his recovery, could end his 2025 season before it began.

Cleveland took a chance on Watson because talented quarterbacks—and he was talented during his time with the Houston Texans—rarely become available. Of course, there were well-known reasons why Watson was available that the Browns thought they could work through, and we all know how well that worked out.
