Deshaun Watson's 2025 Season In Doubt After Second Achilles Tear
Browns QB Deshaun Watson had a second tear of his Achilles and underwent surgery yesterday. With only eight months until the start of the 2025 season, Watson's availability for 2025 is now in jeopardy.
Deshaun Watson Had Setback With Achilles Rehab
Browns QB Deshaun Watson had a setback in his recovery from his torn Achilles, GM Andrew Berry revealed Monday. "We don’t have all the details yet, but it will obviously extend the recovery process for him," Berry said. He added that Watson's availability for the start of the 2025 season is uncertain. Cleveland recently restructured Watson's deal, which will keep him with the team next season. But expect the Browns to add competition via free agency and/or the rookie class. They hold the second overall pick in this spring's draft.
Browns Fire OC Ken Dorsey
The Browns have fired OC Ken Dorsey, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Cleveland ranks 28th in yards and dead last in points through 17 weeks. Despite shoddy QB play, the Browns lead the league in pass attempts and pass rate. We'll see if HC Kevin Stefanski keeps his job for 2025.
Deshaun Watson Back With Browns For 2025
The Browns and QB Deshaun Watson agreed to a restructured contract that will have him back with the team in 2025. Watson did not give up any of his remaining $92 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, and didn't have his 2025 cap hit adjusted. But the new deal softens Watson's cap hits beyond next season, particularly starting in 2027. In other words, the Browns know they're stuck with Watson in 2025 and likely 2026 but are already putting in place a plan to eventually move on. Rapoport adds that Cleveland is expected to bring in competition for Watson this offseason, with QB Kirk Cousins a potential candidate. Cousins played under Browns HC Kevin Stefanski for two seasons in Minnesota. A Watson/Cousins QB room would not inspire much confidence.
We’re looking at players with offseason injury situations – and then forecasting their fantasy value for redraft and dynasty leagues.
