Cleveland Browns consider options for QB amid surprising season start
Summary

The Cleveland Browns lead the AFC North with a 4-2 record heading into their game against the Tennessee Titans. General Manager Andrew Berry had planned to overhaul the quarterback position after this season, but Deshaun Watson's performance, including multiple fourth-quarter game-winning drives, has sparked speculation about a new contract for him. Owner Jimmy Haslam acknowledged Watson's improvement but emphasized the need to focus on the current season. Analysts suggest that Watson may have limited options if he desires to remain a starting quarterback in the NFL.
