Deshaun Watson News
Sunday, February 15, 4:09 AM
The Cleveland Browns "believe" that quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will compete with Shedeur Sanders for the starting role ahead of the 2026 season, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Watson started throwing again this past week, and he's expected to be a real factor in the Browns' quarterback competition this summer. Watson last suited up in 2024 when he went 1-6 across seven games with 1,148 passing yards, six total touchdowns, and six turnovers. Meanwhile, Sanders is coming off a rookie season in which he tallied 1,400 passing yards, eight total touchdowns, and 11 turnovers across eight games (seven starts). Neither quarterback has played particularly strong football in the NFL recently, but nevertheless, it sounds like the Browns feel comfortable with one of those two quarterbacks being their starter next year. In fact, Wolfe adds that Cleveland wants to use one or both of its first-round picks on offensive weapons but doesn't expect to draft a quarterback in the first round.

Tua Tagovailoa News
Wednesday, March 4, 6:13 AM
The New York Jets are among the teams doing work on Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as a possible free-agent addition this offseason, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. The Dolphins prefer to trade Tagovailoa as they look to rebuild their organization, but the expectation is that he'll be released and be available at the league minimum in 2026. The Jets failed in free agency at the QB position last year with Justin Fields and might look to go cheap this year, which would make Tagovailoa or former Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray the perfect targets. Tagovailoa, the fifth overall pick by Miami in 2020 out of Alabama, has a concerning concussion history and has dropped off significantly over the last two seasons after a career year in 2023. The 28-year-old completed 67.7% of his passes for 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns, and a career-high 15 interceptions in 14 starts before being benched late in the year for rookie Quinn Ewers. The Jets could offer Tua the best chance to return to a starting role, but in fantasy, he'd still be avoidable in all single-QB leagues.
