Browns consider trade for Bears QB Tyson Bagent amid QB struggles
Summary

The Cleveland Browns are evaluating their quarterback options as they struggle with Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. ESPN's Mina Kimes suggested a potential trade for Chicago Bears backup Tyson Bagent, who is under a $10 million contract. Kimes and co-host Kevin Clark discussed the implications of trading for Bagent, with Clark expressing doubts that any current QB could significantly change the team's fortunes. The Browns have promising rookie receivers, including Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion, but their success may be hampered by quarterback play.
