Deshaun Watson News
Friday, March 6, 6:49 AM
The Cleveland Browns restructured quarterback Deshaun Watson's contract on Friday to ease his $80.716 million salary cap charge in 2026, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Browns are converting up to $44.745 million of his $46 million base salary into a signing bonus, leaving him with the veteran minimum of $1.255 million for this year. The move is expected to free up around $36 million in cap space. Cleveland is also expected to restructure the contracts of other players, including Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward. The 30-year-old Watson is heading into the final year of the five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract that he signed back in 2022. Watson did not play at all in 2025 after having two surgeries to fix a torn Achilles he suffered in 2024. He's expected to compete for the starting QB job in 2026 with Shedeur Sanders, but the Browns are expected to bring in more competition via free agency. There's no guarantee Watson ever takes another snap with the Browns.

Sam Ehlinger News
Monday, March 9, 5:23 AM
Quarterback Sam Ehlinger has agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal with the Broncos to keep him in Denver for 2026. Ehlinger has made three career starts, all with Indianapolis in 2022, where he went 0-3, throwing three touchdowns to three interceptions. He served as the Broncos' emergency third quarterback in 2025, but according to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, there would have been a market for his services had he reached free agency. With recent trade rumors swirling around primary backup Jarett Stidham, the Broncos are able to secure a level of depth behind third-year starter Bo Nix and retain a coaches' favorite in Ehlinger.
