Breaking: Deshaun Watson Replacement Found: NFL Insider Names Shocking Low-Cost Option for…
To say this season hasn’t gone as planned would be a massive understatement for the Cleveland Browns. Although, there’s a portion of the fan base that might ask the question:
What else were you expecting?
After all, this is a team that banked its future on quarterback Deshaun Watson and, in spectacular yet unsurprising fashion, that bet has backfired tremendously. Watson is not only a shell of his former self as a player, has plenty of off-field questions and issues, but is also on injured reserve and couldn’t even suit up if he wanted to.
There are too many layers to the Watson topic, but the one thing we do know is this: the Browns need to figure out a solution for 2025 not named Watson.
Currently holding the no. 7 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cleveland could take their chances on a rookie next spring. If the draft holder held in its current state, there’s no chance the Browns could land Shedeur Sanders, but maybe they’d have a shot at someone like Cam Ward or Jalen Milroe.
But, would those two be worth the draft capital? This upcoming class isn’t as strong as recent ones and many experts believe teams will be more likely to go out and find a veteran under center rather than banking on a rookie.
In Cleveland’s situation, that seems to be just what one insider thinks will happen.
