Two years back, Deshaun Watson was on the 7th could in his career. After securing a 5-year contract with the Browns worth $230 million, he was set to get his bag. However, the last 2-3 years have also been an upheaval. One after another, the QB has been hit by s—-l misconduct allegations. The latest one was filed just a few days back. Since then, everyone has been wondering about his future with the Browns.

While there were reports that there would be a $92 million cap hit if the team waives him, something interesting has popped up. Browns will not have to take the cap hit as they can void his guaranteed money. Ari Meirov of My Sports Update reported that the Browns could reclaim the guaranteed money if the NFL suspends the quarterback. The team secretly did it when they restructured the deal.

The restructured contract has clauses that can void the guarantees if he does adventure activities such as skydiving, hand gliding, etc. If Deshaun Watson doesn’t report to the team practice or retires from the game, then also the guaranteed amount gets nil. Then, there come the clauses that Meirov referenced.

According to the deal, if the QB gets suspended for violation of league’s personal conduct policy, Browns can void his contract ‘for Conduct Detrimental.’ Another clause mentions that if his actions portray the club in a bad spot, then his contract be voided. Here’s the big question. Will the NFL suspend him?

While we wait for an update, his girlfriend underwent an unpleasant situation.
