Meixi is rolling, and Meibei is also secretly rolling!
Watson, Hot Mom, Burrow!
The North has three elite-level quarterbacks!
On Friday, according to NFL Network reporters, the Houston Texans will trade quarterback Deshaun Watson with the 2024 five-round pick to Cleveland Browns in exchange for the first round of picks in 2022, 2023, 2024, three rounds in 2023, and four rounds in 2024.
Brown is expected to sign a five-year, $230 million contract with Watson, and $230 million will be fully guaranteed. Watson had previously informed the Texan that he was willing to waive the deal veto clause in the contract to join Brown. Texas general manager Nick Caserio said in a statement that he believed the trade for Watson was "the right decision for the club".
Watson's arrival will also allow quarterback Baker Mayfield to seek a new owner. Mayfield asked Brown a day earlier to trade himself, but Brown at the time thought he had withdrawn from the Watson scramble and said he would not agree to his request.
The other three teams involved in the Watson scramble— the Panthers, The Saints, and the Falcons— all need to continue to search for their cornerstone quarterbacks. The Saints have decided to re-sign with Jameis Winston.

Cleveland Browns: Trade A-, renew D+
Surprisingly, after falling out of the Watson Scramble at one point, Brown's sincerity finally impressed Watson. After the upgrade to the quarterback, Brown's offensive group also became very scary. Originally the league's top offensive line and punch combination, combined with the combination of Watson and Cooper, Brown's offensive lineup is very luxurious. Moreover, paying three first-round picks for a young quarterback does not sound like a loss. Because, they will trade mayday in the near future, and he can bring Brown a certain sign return. The deal itself is worth a A-.
However, the biggest failure of this deal was the fully guaranteed contract they subsequently signed with Watson. This is the largest fully guaranteed contract in NFL history. However, Watson's off-field problems are still a worrying problem, and if his off-field problems re-emerge later, Brown's contract extension will undoubtedly push them into a desperate situation. And, while Watson's criminal charges have been cleared, he will be spared jail time; he will still face 22 civil lawsuits, and he may still face a partial suspension from the NFL next season, which is definitely a very risky contract extension.
Houston Texan: B+
It's a cliché story that Texans need to trade Watson. Their relationship broke down a year ago, and the past year can even be regarded as their "cooling off period", and in the end they still decided to part ways. Because of Watson's deal veto clause, Texans can't choose where Watson can go, and the decision is in Watson's hands. So even if it was traded to Brown, who also belongs to the American League, the Texans could not do it.
However, Texans have received a lot of rewards. Three first-round picks, followed by a second-round pick and a three-round pick, would be great for a quarterback who hasn't played in a year and has decided. Compared to the return on the Seahawk trade with Wilson, the Texans won more draft picks and were more suitable for reconstruction.
