They have a stretch of Chargers, Patriots, Ravens, Bengals, Dolphins, Bills, and Bucs.... with Brissett they probably lose all 7... with Jimmy they probably still lose half. I doubt they trade for him for only 11 games.... unless he agrees to a massive pay cut. Like down to 12mil
Trading for Jimmy allows them to win probably 4-6 of the 11 games, where Brissett would win 2-4 in that stretch. He's essentially 2 (+/- a game) more valuable than Brissett (which could be enough to make the playoffs if Watson returns and immediately cooks).
I agree it makes sense but I don't see the Browns doing it. They probably think that Brissett can keep them around .500. Which I disagree but I just don't see it happening. I live in Browns country and the team is stupid
They have a brutal schedule. If they think Brissett is going to tread water, they're insane.
