As we have been covering, the Cleveland Browns had an agreement to acquire QB Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans. That trade consisted of the Browns trading away three first-round picks (2022, ’23 and ’24), a third-round pick (’23) and a fourth-round pick (’24) in exchange for Watson and a fifth-round pick (’24).
Reports flooded in that the team would also be signing Watson to a new contract following the completion of that trade despite significant allegations off the field.
In advance of officially announcing the trade, Cleveland traded Case Keenum to the Buffalo Bills, reportedly restructured WR Amari Cooper’s contract and is expected to bring in Jacoby Brissett to be Watson’s backup.
