BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns general manager Andrew Berry hasn’t ruled out quarterback Deshaun Watson returning to play for Cleveland again despite another significant injury, three disappointing seasons and a divided fan base. Watson suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles tendon on Oct. 20, leading to speculation about his future with a team that made a franchise-altering trade to acquire him. Berry said “that’s always possible,” when asked directly if Watson will play for Cleveland again. Watson hasn’t come close to living up to expectations since being acquired in 2022. The Browns sent three-first round draft picks to Houston and signed the 29-year-old Watson to a fully guaranteed, five-year $230 million contract.
