The Browns are playing their best football with Jameis Winston at quarterback after knocking off the Steelers.

But here’s the problem. The Browns have Deshaun Watson under contract through 2026. They owe him $46 million fully guaranteed in 2025, and another $46 million fully guaranteed in 2026. They need a cheap alternative, if Watson isn’t the starter next year.

Jameis Winston didn't want to talk about whether or not he would stay with the Browns past this year, keeping his focus on the now, including Denver.

As the Browns head into Week 13, there are rumors circulating regarding the Browns signal caller for the remainder of 2024.

Winston has become an adored figure amid the Browns' 3-8 season, as he's been an on-the-field upgrade over Week 1 QB1 Deshaun Watson.
