The Cleveland Browns need to figure out what they will do at quarterback for the upcoming season.
Last year, starting quarterback Deshaun Watson tore his Achilles in the middle of the season, which kept him out the rest of the year.

The 29-year-old quarterback is expected to miss all of the 2025 season due to reinjuring his Achilles this offseason, which leaves Cleveland in a rough spot.

The Browns have the No. 2 pick in this year’s NFL Draft and could take a rookie quarterback. If Cleveland decides not to take a rookie quarterback, they could settle for a veteran free agent or trade for one like Kirk Cousins.

Signs could’ve pointed to what direction the Browns are going in this year’s draft with the video Watson released on Tuesday.

The $230 million quarterback posted a video on social media of him rehabbing his Achilles injury in Cleveland.

There is still a chance Watson is still in Brown’s plans for the 2026 season, and they could be adding a veteran this season to start until Watson can play again.

Many Cleveland Browns fans took to social media to react to the Watson video.
