The Facts: A day after the stunning acquisition of Deshaun Watson, the Browns signed Brissett to back him up, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. If Watson ends up serving an NFL suspension, Brissett could see significantly more action than the average backup quarterback.

Diehards Line: The Browns also traded Case Keenum to the Buffalo Bills today. Baker Mayfield is still on the roster, but won't remain there. ... The NFL confirmed on Friday that the league's investigation into 22 allegations of sexual misconduct and assault against Watson is ongoing, and discipline from the league office remains on the table. The Browns acquired Watson after a grand jury declined to indict him on criminal charges last week. If Watson does face a ban or placement on the commissioner's exempt list, Brissett would be in line to start in Cleveland.
