sh list for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Higgins will be a free agent this offseason and he will have suitors after a strong four years with the Cincinnati Bengals. In that time, he caught 257 passes for 3,684 yards and 24 touchdowns, going over 1,000 yards in two seasons.
Higgins was a topic of conversation on Watson’s podcast “QB Unplugged” and the Browns star made a public plea for him to sign with Cleveland.
You know what’s up with us man. I know you are down to roll. We want to pass the ball and are going to pass it a lot,” Watson said on the episode, which went live on January 26. “We are going to take care of you. The Cleveland fans will love you to death and we have the Clemson ties. We didn’t get to play with each other but this is our opportunity. Come on over to The Land.”
It’s a message to Cleveland’s front office that Watson wants more weapons. The Browns already have Pro Bowler Amari Cooper as their top pass-catcher but could use a reliable threat like Higgins to beef up their attack.
Watson is expected back for training camp after suffering a season-endinÔg shoulder injury. He’s appeared in just 12 games with the Browns since being acquired via a blockbuster trade in 2022.
