On the defensive side of the ball is where it appears the Browns need to focus in this offseason. However, it’s an entirely different conversation if the Texans were calling with a J.J. It’s safe to say this whole conversation is purely speculative and fun to consider but likely not to happen because there are a lot of teams in a more urgent need for a starting quarterback of Watson’s caliber than the Browns.ĭeshaun Watson’s top two choices for trade destinations, per Jets It just doesn’t seem that the Browns are the right fit for either party. Quite the opposite is true, he is a great player. Note: that I am not saying that Deshaun Watson is a bad player. If the Browns are unsure if they want to pony up money to Mayfield at this point, they would have to be all-in on Watson because his contract is a five year deal worth $156 million and about half of that sum is fully guaranteed. Watson just signed a new contract with the Texans before the 2020 season. The Texans would want a slew of draft picks to essentially build a team.ĭallas became a dynasty in the 90s because of the Vikings’ draft picks. I picture the package to be something like the Hershel Walker Cowboys to Vikings trade. What on earth would the Texans ask for in return for their star quarterback? The Asking Price Would Most Certainly Be Too High Mayfield is the man, especially while on his rookie contract.Ģ. The disruption to the Browns offense to pick up Watson would hardly be worth it. Mayfield is established in Cleveland, had a great first year in Stefanski’s system, and has an offensive line and running game to support him. They had to be because the offensive talent supporting him on the Texans has been so-so meaning it’s been up to him to carry the team. Watson’s numbers are better that is a fact. Over his career, Watson has rushed for 1,677 yards and an additional 17 TDs. Mayfield has played in 46 career regular season games he has thrown for 11,115 yards, 75 TDs, and 43 INTs. Watson has played in 54 career regular season games he has thrown for 14,539 yards, 104 TDs, and 36 INTs.

I can’t speak for what the front office would do, but I think they should say “no thanks” and move on.ġ. Would the Browns entertain such an offer? What if the Texans approached the Cleveland Browns with a trade offer for Deshaun Watson? The alleged nasty breakup between the Houston Texans and QB Deshaun Watson has led to a lot of speculations and “what if” situations.Ĭonsider this theory as one of the latest in the hypothetical “what ifs”.
