While moving Watson this offseason is a financial option for the Browns, they are unlikely to demote him to a backup role in favor of an unknown quarterback like Fields, especially given Watson’s large deal.
Due to Fields’ inability to establish himself as a long-term NFL starter, several experts believe the Bears will take USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall choice.
Other quarterback-needy clubs, such as the Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers, have been linked to Fields in trade rumors and might compete with the Browns.
Berry is likely to rely on new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey to help Watson regain his Pro Bowl form from his tenure with the Houston Texans, if Watson can produce more consistent starts next season.
