That’s how much money the Cleveland Browns have paid Deshaun Watson so far this season to throw for 389 yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions (one for a touchdown for the opposing team), 2 fumbles (one for a touchdown for the other team), the 30th ranked QBR in the league, he’s taken 9 sacks, and had 2 unsportsmanlike penalties.
The bBrowns are on the hook for another $41M this year, and $46M per year guaranteed over the following 3 seasons.
It was his contract that completely broke the mold for QB contracts, and now 3 other teams have had to sign their QBs to equivalent contracts.
