Deshaun Watson has been proven to be a massive disappointment for the Cleveland Browns since the time he was acquired via a trade with the Houston Texans. He has been struggling for form and hasn’t been able to find his touch in the last two years. His other attempt at regaining his form was cut short after he suffered a horrific Achilles injury in the Week 7 clash against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The five players who can replace injured Deshaun Watson
Joe Flacco
Justin Fields sees himself in a rather not-so-good position as he is being benched in favour of Russell Wilson, despite the Pittsburgh Steelers getting off to a strong start to the ongoing season.
He has proven in the past that he can win matches and would add a rushing element to Brown’s quarterback position if the franchise goes ahead with signing him. It won’t be a big hassle to sign Fields now that the Steelers are going with Wilson.
Jimmy Garoppolo
If judged by his career, then Jimmy Garoppolo can be viewed as one of the best overall backup quarterbacks the league has seen. He made an appearance in the Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers but now sees himself as a backup to Matthew Stafford while playing for the LA Rams.
He can potentially replace Watson the same way Flacco did last year.
Jacoby Brissett
Jacoby Brissett knows how the franchise Cleveland Browns works as he was a part of the team back in 2022. He now plays for the New England Patriots but recently, he lost his spot to Drake Maye.
It will be easy for the Browns to get him back as he won’t cost a dime in a trade situation.
