Only the Browns could pull that off.  

I'll say one thing, the Browns have a better chance of winning the SB now than they did with all of the "good value" QBs they've trotted out from 1999 to 2021.  It doesn't mean they'll win, but I can squint and maybe see Watson getting hot at the right time and winning if lightning strikes. That's something I can't say about Kelly Holcomb or Brandon Weeden and so on.

You need a QB in this league, so I could see the Browns saying that a WAY WAY WAY overpaid Watson has a better chance of winning it all than a WAY WAY overpaid Mayfield or another nobody QB they've been rotating in for 20+ years.  Faint praise, but I feel like I'm being fair here.

I'll give 'em a 2 or 3% chance.  For the Browns that's probably worth tossing the dice.
