Why Browns’ pursuit of DeAndre Hopkins would make sense and what could stand in the way

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of Browns vs. Steelers on Monday Night Football. We just know that Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson — Hopkins’ longtime friend and former teammate — has shopped the Browns to Hopkins as a potential landing spot. It’s no surprise that Watson would say he’d like to reunite with Hopkins, and theirs is a partnership that absolutely could make the Browns better. GO DEEPER Deshaun Watson would 'love' to have former teammate DeAndre Hopkins join him in Cleveland Every potential playoff roadmap for the Browns includes Watson playing with a certain level of efficiency, confidence and accuracy.
