It will hinder them in the future but we have yet to see it and if I had to venture a guess it won't be a debilitating impact. For as massive as a contract and as massive as a miss as it was to potentially not have that big of an impact shows that it's not that big a risk to push the chips in. If the Browns take a QB with they're 1st pick and he works out as far as they give him the 2nd contract you probably never really feel the financial impact of the Watson deal. 

People are just pointing out the extremes. The Browns and Saints are the extreme when it comes using large lump sums to manipulate the Cap and push money into the future but they fail to mention the majority of the NFL does these things to a lesser more manageable degree.

The Bengals on the other hand are also an extreme in the opposite way which is equally as bad. They rarely manipulate the cap and barely use restructuring.
