Browns Restructure Watson Deal, Eyeing Cap Space

The Cleveland Browns have been actively preparing for the upcoming free agency period with key personnel moves. General manager Andrew Berry orchestrated a trade to acquire veteran offensive tackle Tytus Howard, a significant step in rebuilding the offensive line.

Further financial flexibility was achieved through the restructuring of quarterback Deshaun Watson's contract, a move anticipated to be the final adjustment to this particular agreement. This maneuver has generated around $20 million in available salary cap space.

The team also tendered six exclusive rights free agents, ensuring their presence for the upcoming season. There is a possibility of finding additional cap room by restructuring cornerback Denzel Ward's contract before the official start of free agency on Monday.
