Winston has agreed to a one-year contract with the Browns, Jake Trotter of ESPN reports. The 30-year-old spent the past four seasons with the Saints, making 10 starts, and he's now set to replace Joe Flacco as the Browns' No. 2 quarterback behind Deshaun Watson. Winston, the first overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, gives Cleveland an experienced veteran option to turn to should Watson -- who is bouncing back from a season-ending shoulder issue -- encounter any further injury issues in 2024.

Could land in Cleveland
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Browns-helmet.png?w=150)
The Browns are reportedly closing in on a deal to acquire Winston, Jake Trotter of ESPN reports. Winston, who is still technically under contract with the Saints, would be in line to replace Joe Flacco as Cleveland's No. 2 quarterback behind Deshaun Watson. The Browns also roster Dorian Thompson-Robinson, but Winston -- the first overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft -- has ample starting experience, and Watson is coming off an injury-shortened 2023 campaign.
