The Browns and QB Deshaun Watson have agreed to a contract restructure, a source confirmed to ESPN. The move signals that Watson is likely to return in 2025.

A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press the Cleveland Browns have again restructured quarterback Deshaun Watson's massive contract to create salary-cap space and give them future flexibility.

The adjustment, which is technically an extension by adding a new year to the existing contract but no new money, is intended to help the Browns field a competitive roster for 2025 and beyond. Watson has $46 million due to him over the next two years to complete the $230 million contract signed in 2022.
