The Deshaun Watson suspension is finally settled.The Browns quarterback will mi s 11 games and incur a $5 million fine, an increase of five games after neutral arbitrator Judge Sue Robinson initially handed down a six-game suspension.Watson, through a statement from the Browns, confirmed the NFL and Hamsah Nasirildeen Jersey NFLPA's agreed-upon terms: Cleveland Browns (@Browns) MORE: That sets up a fascinating season in which Cleveland must either go with a backup quarterback or a free-agency addition to lead what is otherwise one of the more talented rosters in the league. How that quarterback presumably Jacoby Bri sett navigates the season will have a significant impact on the team's succe s ... and where it will land in the 2023 NFL Draft.This is where the Texans, who traded Watson to the Browns in return for a ma sive amount of draft capital, will be playing close attention. With Watson leading the way, Cleveland stood to be a contender in the AFC, po sibly even for a deep playoff run.Can the same be said now that he is suspended for 11 games? If the Browns are unable to capitalize in 2022, it could result in an even greater deal for Houston, which will move forward with second-year quarterback Davis Mills this season.Here's how Watson's suspension could directly affect the Texans in the 2023 NFL Draft:MORE: The NFL and NFLPA agreed to an 11-game suspension that will see Watson presumably return to action in Week 13. The opponent in his first game back? His former team, the Texans.Considering Watson's first opponent, it's likely both the league and its players a sociation consider negotiations a win: The NFLPA keeps Watson from mi sing an entire season, and the NFL gets to enjoy the media circus that will undoubtedly surround Watson as he takes on his former team. The Browns gave up significant draft capital in order to acquire Watson, including three straight first-round picks from 2022 through 2024. It's po sible Cleveland considered a potential suspension when making such an offer to Houston, and that the team still considers it to be a worthwhile trade.However, any chance the team had of competing for a deep playoff run in 2022 is greatly diminished without Watson. A suspension further Tyler Conklin Jersey benefits the Texans, who have two picks from Cleveland a first- and a third-rounder in 2023.Browns receive:QB Deshaun Watson2024 sixth-round pickTexans receive:2022 first-round pick2022 fourth-round pick2023 first-round pick2024 first-round pick2023 third-round pick2024 fourth-round pickAs it stands now, Houston will have five picks in the first three rounds of the 2023 NFL Draft. Depending on how well Watson's replacement plays in those 11 games, those picks could land somewhere high in the first and third rounds.MORE: Following news of Watson's suspension, the Browns' quarterback depth chart is as follows:PlayerPlace on depth chartJacoby Bri sett1Joshua Dobbs2Deshaun WatsonSuspendedBri sett, a journeyman more suited to a backup role than an outright starter, will take on the No. 1 role this year in replacement of Watson. Dobbs, the presumed No. 2 behind Bri sett, will almost certainly remain in a backup role this year. To date, he has played six games five Corey Davis Jersey in 2018, one in 2020 in four NFL seasons.The Browns could go after someone in free agency to bolster the quarterback room and outright challenge for starts. The question is, who? If Cleveland wanted to get Sam Darnold as part of its trade offloading Baker Mayfield to the Panthers, it could have done so.The 49ers likely would be willing to trade Jimmy Garoppolo, but he commands more money in 2022 than Mayfield at $25.5 million. That said, reports on Aug. 11 indicated the Browns would be if Watson's suspension was increased from Robinson's original six-game ruling.Would former MVP Cam Newton be willing to step in as a stopgap quarterback? Almost certainly not. Eagles backup Gardner Minshew could be an option, but would Philadelphia want to offload him on the chance starter Jalen Hurts doesn't pan out?MORE: Bri sett is a quality backup, but hasn't shown he can consistently win games when thrust into a starting role. His best season to date came in 2019, when he led the Colts to a 7-8 record while completing 272 of 447 pa ses (60.9 percent) for 2,942 yards and 18 touchdowns to six interceptions. He also ran for four touchdowns that season.Prior to that, he went 4-11 in 15 games as a starter for Indianapolis, completing 58.8 percent of his pa ses for 3,098 yards and 13 touchdowns to seven interceptions. He also went 1-1 as a two-game starter in New England in 2016 and went 2-3 as a starter in Miami in 2021.Below are his stats and record as a starter (if applicable) every year Bri sett has been in the league:YearGames played (started)Record as a starterCompletions/AttemptsPct.YardsTDsINTs20163 (2)1-134/5561.840000201715 (15)4-11276/46958 C.J.

Cleveland needs to see more from third-year receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (901 receiving yards in two seasons) and hope third-round pick David Bell (a 2021 Biletnikoff Award finalist as the nation's top receiver) contributes early.Bri sett will have the running game to rely on, but in a pa s-oriented league, will he be able to elevate the play of his receivers? His team's succe s in 2022 hinges on it.MORE: Will Cleveland be able to navigate Watson's suspension? The team plays only six opponents that had sub-.500 records in 2021.The early portion of the schedule, at least, is set up for a succe sful start. The Browns travel to take on the Panthers before returning home to play the Jets, teams that combined for a 9-25 record in 2021. (But don't discount a potential in Week 1).The Falcons (Week 4) went 7-10 in 2021, while the Ravens (Weeks 7, 15) are coming off a rare losing season. The Texans in Week 13 and Commanders in Week 17 (4-13, 7-10, respectively) also appear to be winnable games.But Cleveland must also take AFC champion Cincinnati and Steelers (a team that has never had a losing record under Mike Tomlin) in the AFC North. Outside the division, it faces the Justin Herbert-led Chargers, Bill Belichick's Patriots, Tom Brady's Buccaneers and a rising AFC power in the Bills.The Dolphins and Saints, both teams that went 9-8 in 2021, fill out the remainder of the schedule Dan Feeney Jersey .Bill Bender of The Sporting News predicts the Browns to go 10-7 i
