The Cleveland Browns’ dismal 1-3 start has highlighted significant offensive issues, with the quarterback position under intense scrutiny. Deshaun Watson’s underwhelming performance and Jameis Winston’s limited role have sparked trade rumors, particularly involving Winston.
According to Devon Platana of Factory of Sadness, the Browns are likely to make a quarterback trade before the November 5 deadline. Winston, on a one-year deal, is seen as a trade candidate, as he doesn’t fit into the team’s long-term plans. Even a modest return, such as a future seventh-round pick, would be beneficial.
Winston, a former No. 1 overall pick, has yet to throw a pass this season despite calls to replace Watson. His experience as a backup in New Orleans showed glimpses of starter potential, making him an attractive option for quarterback-needy teams.
A trade would allow the Browns to reassess their quarterback situation and potentially pave the way for a new starter. While Cleveland may not receive significant compensation for Winston, his departure would provide clarity on their quarterback plans. As the trade deadline approaches, all eyes are on the Browns’ next move to address their struggling offense.
