Deshaun Watson's contract with the Cleveland Browns has been restructured for the second consecutive year, providing the team with significant short-term salary cap relief. The restructuring increases Watson's future cap numbers but allows the Browns to maintain flexibility for player acquisitions. While the decision raises concerns about potential dead-money cap hits in the future, the team remains optimistic about Watson's performance and the expected increase in the NFL salary cap.

• Browns have over $62 million in cap space for 2024, the highest in the NFL.
• Restructuring allows for potential player acquisitions and flexibility.
• Concerns exist about future dead-money cap hits if Watson underperforms.
