Browns agree to trade for Texans QB Deshaun Watson in deal that includes three first-round draft pic [View all]

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Friday.

Rapoport reported the Texans will receive three first-round draft picks in the trade in addition to a third-rounder and a late-round pick swap as Watson has made the decision to waive his no-trade clause to go to Cleveland after also meeting with the Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers this week.

Watson will receive a five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million contract from the Browns, per Rapoport.
The news of Watson's expected trade comes one day after it was reported that the Browns had been the first team eliminated from a potential deal. The Panthers were then notified that they no longer were in the running on Thursday, setting the stage for an apparent final two of the Falcons and Saints.

The Browns also extended him. I don’t understand the hype, his stats aren’t that great and he never took a team to the Super Bowl. He also didn’t play at all last season.
