The uncertainty about the future of Deshaun Watson is finally resolved as he will be joining the Cleveland Browns for the next season.
He will be traded from the Houston Texans to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and potentially a fifth-round pick, according to the sources.
This is a very big trade in terms of where the league will be headed into the next season. This will make the Browns a very good team and a legit contender for the Super Bowl.
According to the reports, Deshaun Watson will be signing a massive 5-year $230 million deal with the Cleveland Browns. The team wants him to be the cornerstone of this franchise. And he can really help them to contend for many years.
Deshaun was close to joining the Atlanta Falcons but the Browns convinced him. And paid him a lot more money than others would have paid. Apart from that, currently, the Browns have a very good squad. Deshaun Watson certainly thinks that this is the best place for him to win something in his career.
This trade certainly makes the Cleveland Browns a legit contender for the Super Bowl. And also the favorite to win the AFC North who still have Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson.
Apart from that, the Browns are now expected to trade Baker Mayfield who recently handed in a trade request which was denied because the Browns thought that they were not getting Deshaun.
Now that Deshaun Watson is a part of the franchise, we can expect Baker to get traded somewhere very soon. Baker had previously intended that he would like to go to the Colts. They need a quarterback and Baker would be a good fit for them.
