Deshaun Watson has decided he wants to play for the Cleveland Browns in a stunning change of events, per sources. Watson has informed the Houston Texans that he now is willing to waive the no-trade clause in his contract to be dealt to Cleveland.
As it turns out, the compensation on the blockbuster trade has changed: Browns now are giving up six draft picks for Deshaun Watson; also instead of giving up a 2024 5th-round pick, it’s now a 2024 6th-round pick, per today’s wire. pic.twitter.com/Y98WFPmYeE

Yes and no. They're going to be near the end of each round. I'd do it for a QB like that. I actually thought the Texans would get more by way of proven talent, in addition to all those picks. [Reply]

I wouldn’t be so sure of that. With the AFC as stacked as it is, I don’t think this is a guarantee at all.
Also, there’s still the possibility of a significant suspension. [Reply]

Them being at the top of a loaded AFC is no given, especially in a tough division like the AFC North. [Reply]

Yes, maybe so. Especially for the 2023 draft. But he is a legit franchise QB and they have a stacked roster on both sides of the ball. Once he can play, they may not be picking number 32, but I think they'll be picking somewhere from 24 on down. The length of the suspension is key IMO. [Reply]

I get that, but IMO he makes them uber talented. I think the suspension is going to be more of a factor because talent wise, they are up there. That division is not all that tough. Balt and Pitt are not that good. [Reply]

Well, I doubt that would be your stance had Denver made that move. [Reply]
I have no issue with somebody saying the Bills are the favorites for the 1 seed, but considering it’s fucking March, “wrapped up” is hilarious. [Reply]

Browns have the most talented roster compared to the other teams rumored to be in the hunt for him.
The Saints would be a close second, but Stefanski > Dennis Allen. [Reply]
