Watson Starts in Cleveland | Cleveland Browns News

J.J. Watt, who played with Deshaun Watson in Houston, isn’t buying the Browns’ claim that Watson’s $230M guaranteed contract had nothing to do with him starting — he figures that kind of investment makes him the obvious choice. Watt called the move predictable, given how camp and offseason vibes pointed toward Watson, and admitted he’s rooting for Cleveland’s long-sought QB success. He’s watching closely to see if Watson can deliver — especially since his Cleveland record (9-10, 19 TDs, 12 INTs) and injury history (Achilles surgeries, limited play since Oct 2024) make it a gamble. The Browns traded three first-round picks for him — hoping to finally fix their QB woes — but with Watson sidelined and past performance underwhelming, the real test begins now.
