The Cleveland Browns and San Fransisco 49ers are in very similar situations with their quarterbacks. Both seem ready to move on from the starter that has led them to the playoffs recently and both would turn the team over to a quarterback they paid a huge price to acquire.
While the Browns acquired Deshaun Watson despite all of his off-the-field concerns, the Niners acquired Trey Lance by trading up in the 2021 NFL draft.
Yet, despite those huge investments, Baker Mayfield and Jimmy Garoppolo remain on the rosters. Recently, it was suggested that the two teams could work out a trade to swap the quarterbacks.
