Deshaun Watson’s contract has been reworked again by the Browns as the team looks to clear salary cap space with the new league year less than one week away.

The latest restructuring of the quarterback’s contract will clear nearly $36 million in cap space for the Browns, according to reports Thursday.

The Browns were nearly $22 million over the cap before restructuring Watson’s deal.

It’s the second time in three months that Watson’s contract was reworked. In December, the sides added void years through 2030 to give the Browns additional financial flexibility to spread out dead money on the contract instead of taking a massive hit in one season.

The 29-year-old Watson may miss the entire 2025 season after rupturing his right Achilles tendon for the second time in three months in January.

The Bengals will allow All-Pro DE Trey Hendrickson to seek a trade. Hendrickson, 30, led the league last season with 17 1/2 sacks.
