The Browns have a problem on their hands. Pulled out of a trade for DeShaun Watson. Made public. Now Mayfield is unhappy and has requested a trade.
Yeah it's all a mess. I think Baker and the front office fell out last season. The crazy thing is if Baker sat out after the injury in week 2, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation
Browns get: DeShaun Watson & a fifth round pick in 2024.
Texans get: 2022, 2023 and 2024 first round picks. 2023 third round pick and 2024 fourth round pick.
I know it’s the Browns. But, that seems waaaaay too much draft capital for someone with a little over 0.500 record who’s also been out of the game for a year.

That's a fair comment. on the flip side, most would agree that Justin Herbert would cost around the same, but he also has a losing record. Hopefully with a better team around him, Watson should improve that record. Although I am still not sure I am comfortable with this trade
Juju won’t give the chiefs anywhere near the same productivity.
Edit: Just saw your comment @cafcbrown. Good point re the losing records and I don’t disagree that Herbert would command the same but Herbert clearly has a much higher ceiling. Only reason his team record is poor is because of a shocking defense. Houston had a solid D when Watson last took the field.

He will almost certainly miss more games on a league suspension once the legal process is done. I’d guess 8. But he still has another grand jury ongoing, so he’s not out of the woods yet.
It would be the funniest thing is he gets charged by the second grand jury, and found guilty in court. It would be peak Browns.

Next thing you know someone will go get Justin Tucker.
5 year contract. $230 million guaranteed.
Texans receiving three first round picks “plus other assets”.

- James Washington coming in from the Steelers should be a great WR3 option behind Lamb and Gallup.
- Dante Fowler is hopefully a solid rotational piece in the edge rushing department.
Kind of Lyle Taylor for Omar Bogle or something.
