Watson's NFL future is as murky as it gets. He ruptured his right Achilles tendon Week 7 last year and then re-tore it three months later, undergoing a second surgery in January that makes him unlikely to play before the second half of the 2025 campaign. Watson played poorly last season prior to the Achilles injury, coming off a shoulder injury the year before. He threw multiple TD passes once (against the Giants) and failed to throw a TD in three games. He never topped 200 passing yards, with his 5.3 YPA ranking last among 39 QBs with at least 200 attempts. The Browns signed Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett and drafted Dillon Gabriel (third round) and Shedeur Sanders (fifth round), but they still have enough invested in Watson to consider starting him if/when he's healthy. WR Jerry Jeudy returns, and the team drafted TE Harold Fannin to join veteran tight end David Njoku. Beyond that, however, it's a lackluster receiving group. Watson has played just 19 games the last four years. How many more games he plays is quite uncertain.
