Deshaun Watson trade grades: Texans get 'A' for historic return while Browns land star QB
CBSN
Here's how we grade the Deshaun Watson blockbuster between Houston and Cleveland
Deshaun Watson has a new home in the NFL. After days of deliberation and meeting with several prospective teams, the now-former Texans quarterback decided to waive his no-trade clause on Friday to join the Cleveland Browns. While any Watson trade was going to be seismic, this decision was a particularly stunning move as the Browns were initially eliminated from contention on Thursday only to be thrust back in at the midnight hour.
After Watson announced where he wanted to go, the Texans and Browns took it the rest of the way to complete the deal that is one of the biggest in league history. Houston sent Watson and a 2024 fifth-round pick to the Browns in exchange for first-round picks in 2022, 2023, and 2024 along with a 2023 third-rounder and a 2024 fourth-round selection. Cleveland also inked Watson to a new five-year, $230 million deal that is fully guaranteed.
Below, you'll find our grades for this blockbuster and see how both the Browns and Texans fared in the deal.
