Browns
- PFT’s Myles Simmons calls the Browns meeting with Texans QB Deshaun Watson a “point of no return” for QB Baker Mayfield.
- Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot adds it could be hard for the two sides to co-exist if the Browns miss out on Watson. She also doesn’t expect Mayfield to be a part of any deal for Watson, as Houston likes Davis Mills and wants to go forward with picks more than players.

- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler mentions the Browns have done their homework on former Packers’ pass-rusher Za’Darius Smith.

Steelers
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports QB Mitchell Trubisky‘s decision came down to the Steelers and the Giants, but chose Pittsburgh due to his chance to become the starter.
