Deshaun Watson has a new backup in Cleveland.
The Browns agreed Tuesday to a one-year deal with Jameis Winston that's worth up to $8.7 million, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the move can’t become official until the new league year begins Wednesday.
Joe Flacco, who went 4-1 and helped the Browns reach the playoffs last season after Watson was sidelined by a shoulder injury, didn’t receive a contract offer from the Browns, said his agent, Joe Linta.
