The AFC North has another franchise quarterback as the Cleveland Browns have traded for Deshaun Watson. A part of the deal is a five-year, $230 million contract, that is fully guaranteed.
According to the reports, the Browns will be trading three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and a fifth-round selection to acquire Watson, in what is one of the largest trades in NFL history. It’s assumed they will attempt to recuperate a portion of said trade as they send quarterback Baker Mayfield elsewhere, but with little leverage, they’re unlikely to salvage much.
