After acquiring Deshaun Watson in a high-profile move a few years ago, the Cleveland Browns hoped they had finally solved their long-standing issues at the quarterback position.
However, Watson’s tenure with the team has been marked by injuries and inconsistent performance, casting doubt on whether he is the long-term solution.
To mitigate the risk associated with Watson’s health, the Browns signed veteran quarterback Jameis Winston in the offseason. Additionally, the team has been developing Dorian Thompson-Robinson, a promising young quarterback drafted in the fifth round in 2023. Despite Thompson-Robinson’s potential, recent reports suggest that the Browns may trade him before finalizing their roster for the upcoming season.
Zac Jackson of The Athletic reported that the Browns are open to trading Thompson-Robinson, possibly to boost his value or address other team needs. Thompson-Robinson, who had a successful college career at UCLA, was drafted 140th overall, which might limit his perceived NFL potential. However, his talent could still make him a valuable asset in the right circumstances.
As the Browns prepare for the season, their decision regarding Thompson-Robinson will be closely watched, particularly as they finalize their quarterback lineup.
