The Cleveland Browns went all in to land QB Deshaun Watson in 2022. Their deal with the Houston Texans included handing over three first-round draft picks, among other selections. They also gave Watson a new five-year, $230 million, fully-guaranteed contract.
The Browns have gotten 12 games out of Watson so far, due to injury and suspension. As a team, they have one postseason appearance, losing in the opening round last season with Joe Flacco at quarterback. With three years left on that deal, the Texans have now harvested their bounty, so it’s time to look at what they’ve, literally, picked.
