UPDATE: Browns Rumors Explode After Veteran Quarterback Visits Cleveland Restaurant

The Cleveland Browns still have not figured out their quarterback situation for the 2025 season, much to the frustration of fans.

Deshaun Watson, after already having fallen out of favor with Browns fans, tore his Achilles tendon for the second time in three months back in January, meaning he’ll miss part or all of next season while recovering.

Cleveland has been linked to a young signal caller in next month’s NFL Draft, but their favorite, Miami’s Cam Ward, is expected to go to the Tennessee Titans with the first overall pick.

That could leave Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders available, but recent reports leave the Browns wondering if he’s the answer. There is another possibility, and that’s signing a free agent veteran or trading for one.

There has been speculation about the Browns trading for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, but that’s unlikely to happen until after the draft.

That speculation was perpetuated even further when Cousins was recently spotted in a Cleveland-area Chipotle restaurant.

A photo was posted on X that showed Cousins with fans at what was labeled in the photo as a Westlake Chipotle. Westlake is a suburb of Cleveland.

“Kirk cousins currently at Westlake Chipotle #Browns,” the post read.

The most curious part of this is that Cousins replied to the post with apparently his favorite menu item at Chipotle,

“Salad with double chicken never fails me,” replied Cousins.

It should be noted that Cousins has a massive contract that the Browns would have to take on in order to trade for the veteran.

Last offseason, Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million deal with the Falcons with $100 million guaranteed and an average salary of $45 million per season.

Cousins will hold a $40 million cap hit in 2025 a $57.5 million cap hit in both 2026 and 2027.

That would be in addition to the $92 million the Browns still owe Watson – all fully guaranteed – from his contract.
