Deshaun Watson Vows Comeback After Season-Ending Achilles Injury
The Browns quarterback remains determined to prove critics wrong following his latest setback, as team owner Jimmy Haslam acknowledges the trade as a costly misstep.
- Deshaun Watson is sidelined for the entire 2025 NFL season after re-injuring his right Achilles tendon in January.
- In a recent Instagram video, Watson expressed his determination to return stronger, stating, 'Everyone is doubting me... I’m gonna be way better than before.'
- Browns owner Jimmy Haslam described the 2022 trade for Watson as a 'big swing and miss,' admitting the team miscalculated the acquisition.
- Since joining the Browns, Watson has played just 19 games over three seasons, with declining performance and significant time missed due to injuries and suspension.
- Watson's fully guaranteed $230 million contract, coupled with his underwhelming contributions, has left the Browns exploring alternative quarterback options for the future.
