Deshaun Watson is expected to waive his no-trade clause to facilitate a blockbuster deal that will send him to the Cleveland Browns.
Watson had initially told the Browns they were out of the running, narrowing his field of potential destinations to the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons, but it appears Cleveland never stopped recruiting him, and have now closed the deal.
More to come.
