The Cleveland Browns have issues all over the field this season, mostly due to injury, but aside from quarterback it is the wide receiver position that breeds perhaps the most uncertainty moving forward.
Setting aside the fact that the QB situation is far from ideal, the Browns at least know they will have Deshaun Watson back healthy and playing in the third season of a massive five-year contract in 2024. Because of Watson’s deal, and several other considerations, Cleveland may need to part ways with wide receiver Amari Cooper and his $23.8 million salary cap hit over the offseason.
Should Cleveland render Cooper a cap casualty, the Browns will need to seek a parter for Watson in the pass game so as not to leave the league’s top-rated defense to fend for itself as frequently as it has had to this year. One option come the offseason could be Buffalo Bills wideout Stefon Diggs, who Connor Livesay of The 33rd Team suggested may be on the trade block in 2024.
