The Cleveland Browns made it very clear that QB Jacoby Brissett would start in place of QB Deshaun Watson if/when a suspension was leveled against the former Houston Texans. They showed little interest in QB Jimmy Garoppolo, who just took a huge pay cut to stay in San Francisco, and traded away QB Baker Mayfield for pennies on the dollar.
Even as QB Josh Dobbs played very well in preseason and some fans clamored for him to start, Brissett’s spot was left unchallenged.
