I got a pretty darn good source within the Browns organization. I heard that part of the reason Myles Garrett was so willing to sign his contract extension \u2014 the Browns are negotiating as we speak with the Cowboys for a trade for quarterback Dak Prescott,\u201d Drennan said. \u201cWhy? I don\u2019t know. We are not going anywhere with Prescott, even if they pull it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drennan said that the deal would include cornerback Greg Newsome and draft picks.<\/p>\n<p>The rumors quickly caught fire, prompting Jane Slater of NFL Network to check with her sources on the potential deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI run it all down when working this beat and the Dallas Cowboys are NOT working on trading Dak to the Browns,\u201d Slater said. \u201cIn fact, texts with two sources tell me \u2018fake news\u2019 and \u2018absolutely not\u2019 before this gets any sort of wheels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slater and others also pointed out that Prescott has a full no-trade clause, which would allow him to veto any potential move. With a lucrative contract already in hand, there\u2019s little reason for Prescott to want to leave Dallas, where he has played his entire career.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Browns Miss Out on Russell Wilson<\/h2>\n<p>The rumor gained some momentum, mostly due to Cleveland\u2019s current quarterback conundrum. The Browns remain without a true starting quarterback on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>Kenny Pickett, whom Cleveland traded for earlier in the month, is the only healthy passer on the roster. Deshaun Watson is still under contract on his hefty $230 million fully guaranteed deal. However, he\u2019s expected to miss most, if not all, of next season recovering from an Achilles injury.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns were in the mix for 10-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson in free agency. Wilson had visited the Browns during his free agent tour but signed with the New York Giants. Cleveland and superstar pass-rusher Myles Garrett were hopeful Wilson could be in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean him and I had a little bit of conversation at the Pro Bowl as well as here and I definitely think he\u2019d be a valuable asset as a leader, as a mentor to those young guys,\u201d Garrett said. \u201cVeteran leadership can\u2019t be understated. And I think he has definitely has some juice left at the position. He\u2019s got plenty of arm left. He\u2019s very smart and he knows what he\u2019s capable of. So he\u2019d be a valuable asset.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Browns Likely to Take QB in NFL Draft<\/h2>\n<p>With their capable veteran options limited, the Browns will likely turn to the draft to find their next quarterback. Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are the top options.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland held a private workout with Ward in Miami on Wednesday, per CanesInsight.com. It came after Ward\u2019s Pro Day, which the Browns attended. The Tennessee Titans hold the top pick and are interested in Ward. However, the Browns could try to move up \u2014 although it will cost them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Titans have become increasingly impressed with Ward and, while they are expected to listen to offers for the No. 1 overall pick, it now would take an even stronger package to acquire the draft\u2019s top selection,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported.<\/p>\n<p>Ward is coming off a stellar season at Miami, passing for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns and seven interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>J.R.
