The Cleveland Browns quarterback, Deshaun Watson, is under serious scrutiny by the NFL for misconduct allegations. This brings attention to the big question of whether the Browns have signed a backup to play QB1 during Watson’s suspension. Rumors started swirling around in the NFL world linking Colin Kaepernick to the Browns. However, NFL insider Adam Schefter made a startling revelation.

The Browns have choices if Watson gets suspended but the rumors surrounding Kaepernick have started an interesting conversation. Is the QB good enough to replace Watson considering that the former Niner has not played a competitive snap since 2016? Even though Kaepernick worked out with the Raiders and trained in the offseason, there is no guarantee that his prowess remains at the same level as it was six years ago.

Moreover, NFL insider Adam Schefter sheds light on the rumors with a one-liner tweet. He writes, “False. This hasn’t been reported by me.” Thereby crushing the rumors of the former Niner playing a snap in the Browns jersey.

In addition, the regular season is around the corner and the Browns can get tied in a frenzy. Considering Watson’s suspension is hanging by a thread, the Browns’ signing of Kaepernick might sound like both a possibility and an unrealistic occurrence. However, out of practice, Kaep will have to tie his laces to be at the level of his contemporaries.
