Former Texans quarterback signs fully guaranteed contract
Cleveland, OH - Deshaun Watson has inked a massive five-year, $230 million contract with the Cleveland Browns following a trade from the Houston Texans. The deal includes a $44.965 million signing bonus and is fully guaranteed, making it one of the richest contracts in NFL history.
Watson's contract averages out to $46 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. The Browns acquired Watson from the Texans in a blockbuster trade that sent three first-round draft picks and two additional picks to Houston.
Watson is expected to be the Browns' starting quarterback for the 2022 season. He was traded to Cleveland despite facing 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct.
