Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is attempting to come back from an injury this season and has played in just 12 games in two seasons since the Browns acquired him. Is this the year he returns to the elite level the Browns hoped for when they acquired him? Will he at least be a Top 10 quarterback?
Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start a Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast by answering those questions about Watson before answering another about what it would actually take for the Browns to decide to move on from Watson.
Then they answer a question about the Browns record next season and discuss a couple of draft questions about what positions the Browns value in the draft and if linebacker and defensive tackle are in play.

Breaking down all the Browns draft picks

The Browns exercised the fifth-year option on cornerback Greg Newsome II on Tuesday, locking him in through the 2025 season. What happens after that will be interesting given the number of defensive backs the team could be paying by then.
Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe begin Tuesday's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast by discussing Newsome and why picking up the option made sense as well as whether the Browns could engage in longterm contract discussions with their 2021 first-round pick.
They also discuss the quarterback room and the battle between Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Tyler Huntley for the third QB job and how long the leash will be on Deshaun Watson this season before answering questions about two draft picks from a year ago and discussing the possibilities for the stadium.
