When the Cleveland Browns sold the farm to acquire former Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson ahead of the 2022 NFL season, they certainly didn’t expect to be in the position they find themselves now.

With that said, Browns insider Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland/The Land on Demand recently suggested that Cleveland could pass on Ward and Sanders to target Alabama's Jalen Milroe during the draft. Milroe had the previously mentioned Rees as his offensive coordinator during the 2023 college season.

The Cleveland Browns took a major step back in 2024 after making the playoffs last season. They went 3-14 and have a lot of questions entering the offseason, particularly at quarterback. Deshaun Watson ruptured his Achilles during the regular season and was on track to be ready for the 2025

An NFL draft trade proposal has the Cleveland Browns moving up to the No. 1 pick to draft Shedeur Sanders to replace Deshaun Watson.

A recent mock draft by Luke Easterling of Athlon Sports had Milroe falling out of Round 1, so there is a possibility the Browns land him in Round 2 or trade up into the back end of the first round, depending on how the dominoes fall.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson had surgery after rupturing his Achilles tendon for the second time in three months, a setback that could sideline him for the entire 2025 season

The recent setback to Deshaun Watson's Achilles injury could have massive NFL draft implications for the New York Giants.

After the announcement that Deshaun Watson will need surgery and his 2025 season is in doubt, he may be the worst trade ever.

On Friday, ESPN reported that Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson underwent surgery for his torn achilles this week and that his status for the 2025 season is “now in jeopardy.” Watson tore his right Achilles tendon Oct. 20, which marked his second injury-shortened season.
