## Resource

The Browns paving the Way for Deshaun Watson stuns The Arena as Skip Bayless, Aqib Talib, Cody Kessler, & Kenyon Martin react to a top Cleveland Browns reporter claiming that people inside the Browns organization are planning on Deshaun Watson to be the Starting QB over Shedeur Sanders heading into next season. Would this kind of decision by the Browns hinder the growth of Shedeur, and force him to seek out other options in the NFL? Next, they react to Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens finally signed his franchise tender, officially locking him up for next season. Will Skip's Cowboys think about eventually signing Pickens to a long term deal, as Skip Believes Pickens will want to be paid similarly to other wide outs like Jaxson Smith-Njigba, and his teammate Ceedee Lamb. Finally, the Arena reacts to the ongoing Quarterback situation in Pittsburgh as Aaron Rodgers has yet to make a decision if he's coming back or if he will retire, simply leaving the Steelers with no QB option if he does decide to call it quits.
