Deshaun Watson's offseason work has begun as he seeks starting job

The Cleveland Browns are evaluating their quarterback options under new head coach Todd Monken. Monken has expressed interest in working with current Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is a three-time Pro Bowler, as well as Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and potential new additions. Watson, who is recovering from a twice-torn Achilles, has been cleared for football activities and is training in South Florida. He will begin a throwing program with private coach Quincy Avery. Despite an $80 million cap hit in 2026, Watson has only played 19 games over the past four seasons. Monken emphasized the importance of having a strong quarterback and supporting players to succeed in the league.
