The Cleveland Browns face numerous important decisions in the coming months, particularly regarding a roster that seems poised for significant changes. Among these, addressing the quarterback position stands out as the most urgent priority.
Deshaun Watson has not performed as expected since joining the team, and his recovery from a torn Achilles adds uncertainty to his return timeline.
As a result, both fans and analysts have been speculating about the Browns’ strategy to address the position in the offseason.
Some believe the team might use the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft to select a quarterback, while others suggest they could target a veteran to compete for the starting role.
In a recent Bleacher Report article, Kristopher Knox supported the latter approach.
Knox proposed the idea of Cleveland acquiring Justin Fields as competition for Watson, especially given Watson’s recent setback in his Achilles recovery.
Fields, currently serving as a backup to Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh after losing the starting job, has shown flashes of potential in the NFL.
With the right coaching, some believe he could develop into a reliable long-term starter.
Whether Cleveland can provide the environment and support needed for Fields to progress remains to be seen, but the offseason and draft will soon reveal the team’s plans.
