Cleveland enters the Week 3 window with a quarterback question it cannot afford to answer. Deshaun Watson carries a $230 million fully guaranteed contract. He also carries a recent loss to Tampa Bay and declining efficiency metrics. ESPN reporting now indicates the Browns are expected to evaluate the QB situation ahead of Week 3. The decision is financial as much as football. A benching would admit a sunk cost. Staying the course would risk season momentum.
