Insider Reveals Browns’ Latest Changes Are About One Individual

The Cleveland Browns took a significant risk when they traded for Deshaun Watson.

They were well aware that it would be a contentious decision that would elicit strong reactions.

They also understood they would have to give up a multitude of assets to complete the transaction, but they were willing to go to any length to get him there.

Now, reporter Hayden Grove claims that all of the efforts they’ve made to fire OC Alex Van Pelt and some of his aides are due to Watson.

Deshaun Watson is at the center of Alex Van Pelt’s move, as are Stump and TC to some extent.

The Browns understand that they must maximize Deshaun’s potential over the next few years and will do all in their power to do so.

This is just another attempt to get him there.

He contends that the franchise understands the need of doubling and tripling down on its prospective franchise quarterback in order to receive as much as possible in exchange for him after giving up so much to acquire him.

As of now, Watson’s move has been a complete failure for the franchise, as he has barely been allowed to play and has been far from outstanding.

We all witnessed what Watson was capable of when he entered the league and thrived with the Houston Texans, so there’s reason to be optimistic.

However, it’s difficult to perform at your best when you’re not getting real-life reps and have been out of the game for so long, and he may never return to his prior level.

The Browns, on the other hand, have no choice but to wish for his success and assist him in every way they can.
