The Browns are on the books to pay Deshaun Watson $46 million in base salary for each of the next four seasons, but general manager Andrew Berry didn’t rule out the potential of restructuring the deal ahead of its second season.
Cleveland signed Watson last season to a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract. He played in just six games in for the Browns this past season after serving an 11-game suspension, and Berry indicated changes were possible during his Tuesday media session at the NFL combine in Indianapolis.
“It could be on the table, but there’s a lot of flexibility in terms of what we can do,” Berry said of the possibility of restructuring Watson’s contract, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
