In exchange, the Browns got Watson and a sixth-round selection in the 2024 draft.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_rzgwwuz5i\">Before Watson even got to Cleveland, the former Clemson quarterback was in legal trouble for multiple alleged sexual assault cases.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_e0dpa7htv\">Stack those issues on top of a knee injury, and Watson didn&#8217;t play for two full seasons before his first appearance with the Browns.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Browns QB Deshaun Watson ruptured his Achilles again, could miss all of 2025.

This season, Watson&#8217;s year was cut short by, and this season, his, an Achilles injury.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_7d66336z0\">Watson had hopes of a return but reaggravated the Achilles injury, meaning that his chances of playing in 2025 are slim.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_2609,h_1739,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_720,ar_3:2,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/thebiglead_en_international_web\/01jh92g3pq9kq15x7z76.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_vypep3m9s\">The Watson-Browns marriage is all but over, and Watson is the only winner in the situation.
