Browns Reportedly Eye Kirk Cousins and Draft QBs for 2025 Rebuild

Cleveland is considering veteran Kirk Cousins and top draft prospects as Deshaun Watson's future as the starting quarterback remains uncertain.

The Cleveland Browns are exploring options to address their quarterback situation, including potentially signing Kirk Cousins if he is released by the Atlanta Falcons.
The Browns are also positioned to draft a top quarterback prospect, holding the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, with Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders as leading candidates.
Deshaun Watson, despite his struggles and injuries, is expected to remain on the roster due to his restructured $230 million guaranteed contract, though his starting role is not assured.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski's past success with Cousins in Minnesota adds to speculation about a potential reunion as a short-term solution for Cleveland.
Team sources emphasize the need for a competitive quarterback room in 2025, combining a veteran presence with a potential rookie to foster long-term stability.
