Deshaun Watson to Miss 'Significant Time' in 2025, Nick Chubb to Hit Free Agency

Browns' GM Andrew Berry touched on multiple topics facing the Browns as they enter the new league year and offseason, starting first with the injury status of QB Deshaun Watson. As you already know, the Browns don’t have a QB on the roster as of today that wouldn’t be laughed at if they were to get the start in Week 1, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that he ‘fully expects’ the Browns to select a QB with the second overall pick in the draft. This makes sense, especially given the fact that the Browns’ $240M man re-ruptured his Achilles a second time after initially tearing it in Week 8 of the regular season. With Watson set to miss a good portion of the 2025 season as he recovers, the Browns will have to start from scratch in the QB room heading into next year. That will likely start with signing a bridge quarterback for the time being in free agency, with many rumors indicating that a potential reunion between head coach Kevin Stefanski and QB Kirk Cousins could be on the horizon. Regardless of which veteran is brought in, all focus will be on the QB Cleveland selects in this year’s draft, with at least one of Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, and Jaxson Dart set to be available by the time they’re on the clock. Meanwhile, Berry also commented on the future of free agent RB Nick Chubb, indicating Tuesday that the veteran RB and lifelong Brown is likely to become a free agent at the start of the new league year. While the door isn’t shut on a potential cheap extension for Chubb, it’s hard to imagine the Browns shelling out anything more than the minimum for a player who’s been oft-injured over the past few seasons.
