Deshuan Watson traded to the Browns

Deshuan Watson is headed to the Cleveland Browns after a long feud with the Houston Texans, with the Browns sending 3 straight first round picks, a 2023 third rounder, and a 2024 fourth round pick in exchange for the Former Clemson quarterback. Watson made it clear that he wouldn’t waive his no trade clause to the Browns but after changing his mind Watson decided that Cleveland was the best landing spot for Deshuan to win. 

       The former first round pick had plenty of NFC teams looking to acquire Watson including the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, but Cleveland had the best offer. After Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield got a whiff of the Browns looking to acquire Watson Baker requested a trade and felt insulted by the organization, Cleveland then denied Mayfields request after Watson took the Browns off his board, which made the Baker, Browns relationship inseverable but after all thoughts Watson did waive his no trade clause to Cleveland and which triggered the deal. 

Watson and Cleveland came to an agreement on a contact of 5 years and $230 million fully guaranteed. Baker Mayfield now gets his request of seeking a trade for a new team.
