The Cleveland Browns have zeroed in on their backup quarterback to Deshaun Watson and it was shocking to find out that they were going with Jameis Winston.
Winston is a good quarterback, but Joe Flacco saved the season for the Browns last year and many assumed he would be back with the team.
A new report suggests Deshaun Watson had something to do with that as the Browns never offered Flacco a contract this offseason.
One of the biggest reasons for the Browns’ interest in Winston is his noted relationship with Deshaun Watson.
Multiple reports indicate the franchise will finalize a deal with veteran quarterback Jameis Winston when the new league year opens at 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
After joining the Browns in Week 12, Flacco assumed the starting quarterback role one week later and went on to post a 4-1 record and lift Cleveland to a wild-card berth.
In the process, he threw for 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns.
He is still a hot commodity and will sign elsewhere.
