Browns Not Expected To Be Interested In Garoppolo After Vet QB Granted Permission To Seek Trade

While the NFL world still awaits upon news about Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson and whether and how long he gets suspended, it doesn’t sound as though there is any ambiguity within the organization over who their quarterback would be for whatever time Watson might miss.

Following a report by Doug Kyed suggesting that the Browns could reconsider the possibility of attempting to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo from the San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland.com reporter Mary Kay Cabot is indicating the opposite, saying that they have no intention of going after him.

The San Francisco 49ers formally granted Garoppolo permission to pursue a trade yesterday, even though it had been long suspected he would be traded this offseason after they drafted Trey Lance in the first round in 2021.
