NFL Quarterback Deshaun Watson will waive his no-trade clause so that he can be traded to the Cleveland Browns, FOX 26's Mark Berman confirms.
Watson was also being pursed by Atlanta, New Orleans and Carolina.
The Texans tried to trade Watson before the deadline last November and were said to have been close to sending him to Miami. But they were unable to complete a deal with the criminal charges still pending.Despite his legal troubles, Watson, who was a first-round pick in 2017, is still attractive to many teams after proving to be one of the top young quarterbacks in the league in 2020.
The Browns’ pursuit of Watson angered incumbent starter Baker Mayfield, who requested a trade. Cleveland turned down his demand before learning Watson had agreed to waive his no-trade clause and jump to the AFC North.
