The Browns have been looking for an NFL-quality quarterback to play for their team ever since they were reformed. The closest they have gotten was Baker Mayfield who this season is still looking like a solid NFL quarterback that a team can build around.
Unfortunately for the Browns, that team is the Buccaneers, who rehabbed Mayfield’s career after the Browns moved on.
Since then, the team has not gotten the quality of quarterback play they have looked for from Deshaun Watson. While he will be on the team in 2025, it seems likely that the team will be looking to add someone to push for the starting role through free agency or the draft.
