There is another possibility, and that&#8217;s signing a free agent veteran or trading for one.<\/p>\n<p>There has been speculation about the Browns trading for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, but that&#8217;s unlikely to happen until after the draft.<\/p>\n<p>That speculation was perpetuated even further when Cousins was recently spotted in a Cleveland-area Chipotle restaurant.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjExODE4MjE2MjQwOTgxNTM5\/kirk-cousins-and-deshaun-watson-browns.png\" alt=\"Rumored Trade For Veteran Could Finally Solve Cleveland Browns' Quarterback  Problem - Athlon Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kirk cousins currently at Westlake Chipotle #Browns,&#8221; the post read.<\/p>\n<p>The most curious part of this is that Cousins replied to the post with apparently his favorite menu item at Chipotle,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Salad with double chicken never fails me,&#8221; replied Cousins.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Cousins will hold a $40 million cap hit in 2025 a $57.5 million cap hit in both 2026 and 2027.<\/p>\n<p>That would be in addition to the $92 million the Browns still owe Watson &#8211; all fully guaranteed &#8211; from his contract.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cleveland Browns still have not figured out their quarterback situation for the 2025 season, much to the frustration of fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1110,771,1108,202,28,1106,1111,857,1109,1107],"class_list":["post-19174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns","tag-atlanta-falcons","tag-cam-ward","tag-chipotle-restaurant","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-deshaun-watson","tag-kirk-cousins","tag-miami","tag-shedeur-sanders","tag-tennessee-titans","tag-the-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
