The Cleveland Browns are exploring a massive trade that would involve getting Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans.
Per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns are still looking at a deal where they would have to offer multiple first-round picks, Baker Mayfield, and other assets.

This would certainly be one of the biggest moves of the offseason if Cleveland went through with this.
It would signal that the Browns aren’t 100% confident in Mayfield moving forward while also thinking that they need to make room to compete with the Bengals and Ravens.
The NFL world isn’t high on this potential move for Cleveland.
I just really really hope not. I know it is going to be hard to bring baker back after all of this but I cannot and will not support this and I am not sorry. https://t.co/ak4mGntDRg

The Browns are coming off a disastrous 2021 campaign that saw them miss the playoffs. There were very high expectations for this team, but they weren’t met.
Part of that has to do with Mayfield playing hurt for most of the season. He was battling multiple shoulder injuries during the season which affected his play.
Cleveland has already been a bit busy. It traded for Amari Cooper from Dallas on Saturday as the offense will now have another weapon for next season.
Right now, it looks like the Browns may not be a top contender for Watson, but that can all change in the blink of an eye.
