As the NFL continues to work through its process of handing down a punishment for Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson amid his ongoing sexual assault and harassment lawsuits, the question of how the team will proceed with regard to backup options for the upcoming season remains to be answered.
According to ESPN’s Jake Trotter, Cleveland could continue looking outside the organization for quarterback help. He suggested that a Baker Mayfield-for-Jimmy Garoppolo trade could be a viable option. The only other quarterback on the Browns’ active roster is Jacoby Brissett, who has made 37 career starts but has spent the past two seasons primarily as a backup.
