Deshaun Watson agrees to be traded to Cleveland Browns

After a week of being courted by various teams, Deshaun Watson had decided he wants to play for the Cleveland Browns. It is now up to the Texans and Browns to agree on a trade package that will send the quarterback to Cleveland.

ESPN's Adam Schefter was first to report the news. Schefter also reported that the Browns will give Watson a new contract for $184 million over the next four years. That's a $12 million annual increase over what he was going to make under his previous contract.

The teams have not agreed to the details of a deal yet, but Yahoo's Charles Robinson reports that the Texans will get three first-round picks, plus two other draft picks from the Browns in exchange for Watson.
