BREAKING: The Browns are trading for Deshaun Watson
I was in the middle of writing an editorial piece on Baker Mayfield and Browns’ free agency when the surprising tweet was made by Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network: Deshaun Watson changed his mind and is waiving his no-trade clause to Cleveland. Browns fans: say goodbye to Mayfield, because Watson just became the team’s new franchise quarterback.
Per Rapoport, the Browns are giving Watson a fully guaranteed 5-year contract worth $230 million. They are going all in and banking on him being the single difference-maker who can lead them to a Super Bowl.
