"Now Deshaun has a great chance, fresh start, offensive-minded coach, who has, in his past, been able to work with all kinds of different quarterbacks and make him successful."

We haven't even made it to the NFL Draft, which is in a few weeks, without Browns offseason quarterback drama.
Driving the news: On Monday, Jimmy Haslam told reporters that Deshaun Watson has a "great chance" at a "fresh start" under new head coach Todd Monken.
What they're saying: "We talked to [Watson] the other day," Haslam told reporters. "He said he weighed less than he had in several years, was in great shape."
"He'll be here on April 7th when we start (the offseason program) and let's see what Deshaun can do. We're all excited."
Flashback: Haslam's words came a year after calling the team's 2022 trade for Watson a "big swing and miss."
What's next: Watson is expected to compete with second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders this offseason for the Browns' starting job.
