Browns Name Watson Starter Despite Preseason Booing and Contract Controversy

The Cleveland Browns have named Deshaun Watson their starting quarterback for the 2026 season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, despite significant fan backlash and a poor preseason performance. While Watson was booed during a recent game against the Buffalo Bills, head coach Todd Monken cited Watson's overall camp performance as superior to rookie Shedeur Sanders. The decision reignites debate over the team's 2022 trade and Watson's $230 million fully guaranteed contract, which critics argue distorted the market for other quarterbacks.
