The ongoing speculation surrounding a potential trade involving Dak Prescott and the Cleveland Browns is stirring up a lot of debate. Despite the heavy financial commitment the Browns have made to Deshaun Watson, which includes a staggering $36 million cap hit this season, Cleveland radio host Bruce Drennan insists that negotiations for a Prescott trade are advancing. However, numerous complexities hinder this possible deal, notably Prescott's no-trade clause and the $89 million in bonuses that would hit the Cowboys' cap if they were to part ways with him.

Moreover, trading Watson would further complicate matters for the Browns, resulting in an additional $82.5 million cap hit, leaving the team with only $19 million in cap space. The situation is compounded by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam's admission that the Watson extension might have been a miscalculation. The talk of a Prescott trade seems more like a reflection of the offseason boredom than a realistic possibility.
