Browns Expected To Look At Veteran QBs This Offseason
2 days agoESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Daniel Oyefusi write that the Cleveland Browns are expected to look at "any veteran quarterback with starter's talent" this offseason, including Falcons QB Kirk Cousins, according to a team source. Cutting Deshaun Watson (Achilles) now would cost the team $92 million in cash and $119 million in dead salary cap money if he was designated as a post-June 1 release. A recent restructure of his contract allows the Browns to push Watson's dead cap figure into 2030 and signals he'll likely be on the roster next year. With Watson having been available in just 19 regular-season games since 2021, it's clear Cleveland's goal will be to strengthen their QB room this offseason. The working leaguewide theory is that the Browns will keep Watson for one more year and have him battle it out for the starting job with a veteran and/or draft pick.
