According to sources, the Cleveland Browns are expected to sign free-agent quarterback Jacoby Brissett to a one-year deal to be their backup.

If the National Football League Disciplines Watson, who is accused by 22 women of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct during massage sessions, he could start next season as Cleveland's starter.

The grand jury did not indict him on the criminal complaints, but he could still face a suspension under the league's personal conduct policy. There are 22 civil lawsuits against him.

The younger backup and one with experience is given by Brissett. A league source confirmed on Saturday that the Buffalo Bills agreed to trade Case Keenum, their backup quarterback, to the Cleveland Browns for a seventh-round draft pick in 2022.

In place of an injured Tua Tagovailoa, Brissett started five games for Miami and led the Dolphins to four wins, throwing for 1,283 yards and 5 touchdown. He was with Indianapolis for four years.

The report was contributed to by the Associated Press.
