Along with a couple other teams, Watson gets his pick .

If the Texans don't take either QB, I would rather have the corpse of Matt Ryan than Baker Mayfield

Why 

[DougDew]

I would think that Baker would be heading to HOU, young enough to build around.  Not so with Ryan.

The Texan's have a young QB that played a hell of a lot better than he did. Sills looked good, better than Baker. The Texan's will take 3 #1 picks, plus a couple players.

Not entirely sure how credible this is but apparently Baker's preferred destination is Indy. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/if-baker-mayfield-is-traded-what-nfl-team-is-his-preferred-landing-spot/

Watson is meeting with the Atlanta Falcons today.  

 

We shall see what we shall see.

Surprised Houston would do that.  I would think Atlanta would be the choice to get him out of the AFC,  Maybe the Browns are offering more.  

Houston will end up with a good haul for Watson.

If we can get Baker without giving up a 1st. That will make this offseason for us.

Give up a 1st? If they got a 4th that would be something, the Browns would need to dump his salary. That said, looks like Watson wisely doesn't go Brown..

The Browns are OUT of contention for Deshaun Watson.

Wrong again. Cleveland is Deshaun's 23rd victim.

Prepare Andrew Berry for brain surgery.

Watson to the Browns, done deal . 

[MacDee1975]

Watson is a selfish overrated piece of garbage.

 

Have fun with your consistent 7 win seasons with Watson calling his own number 99% of the time the team is in the red zone, Cleveland.

[strt182]

5yr 230m all guaranteed , CRAZY  

[sb41champs]

I was absolutely STUNNED by this news today !!

 

Cleveland must have been willing to give up more draft capital - AND - over pay a QB with "baggage".

 

Plus - they HAVE to keep Baker until Watson is done with his expected NFL suspension.

 

Cray cray in Cleveland !!!

[King Colt]

Clevland vs, Cincinnati should be two games to watch this year. Browns are now tops in QB, RB, WR. Now they might be in the final playoff game for the Super Bowl. Question: What happens if Watson is suspended for X number of games? Was that possibility included in the contract?

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Props to Watson.... Richest guaranteed NFL contract ever and blew Rogers contract completely away.

 

Props to the Brownies for getting a franchise QB that's a difference maker.

 

 And best of all it's not good news for the Steelers lol.

 

 

[Four2itus]

[King Colt]

Watson's deal  will throw a wrench in to all future QB deals. Wait & See. How long has it been since the Steelers were at the bottom of their division (for 2022)

1.Cincinnati or Cleveland

2.Baltimore

3.Pittsburgh
