Deshaun Watson will be the new QB of the Cleveland Browns. A real thing. The #Browns will now trade Baker Mayfield.

The move would come less than 24 hours after Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield requested a trade from Cleveland immediately. The Browns weren’t willing to let him go just yet, the AP reported.
Bleacher Report reported Friday afternoon that Watson would be traded to the Browns in exchange for three first round picks and two additional picks.
