One of the most affected teams in the offseason is the Cleveland Browns. Their pursuit of acquiring Deshaun Watson was viewed as a masterstroke. However, it backfired with such an intensity that the franchise will have to wait till Week 13. Despite losing him for more than half of the season, Cowboys star Micah Parsons believes that the Browns will still make it to the Playoffs.
The 23-year-old linebacker has already become a star with explosive gameplays in the first three weeks of the 2022 season. Despite the Cowboys facing early jitters, Parsons remained unfazed and continued with his play, earning appreciation from his opponents like Tom Brady, who lauded the linebacker’s passion for the sport.

While he has already become a social media star, the youngster made a soothing statement for the Browns fanbase. “Browns will make playoffs!! Especially getting Deshaun late in the season!!” Micah Parsons wrote on Twitter.

If this becomes a reality, it could be a huge achievement for the franchise. Already the former Texans QB was offered a fully-guaranteed $230 million lucrative contract for five years, and losing him for more than half of the season, surely is a headache.
After a brief back and forth between the league and NFLPA, Watson was finally suspended for 11 games and stripped of his salary during this period. Moreover, he will have to pay $5 million as a fine. A chunk of it will go to educate young people on healthy relationships and promote education in preventing misconduct.
As of now, Jacoby Brissett is covering for Watson, and till Week 3 he has fared well, conceding for a loss against the New York Jets. The recent 29-17 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers has reassured the fans that Brissett is the right backup in Watson’s absence.
NFL world reacts to Micah Parsons making a bold prediction
Parson’s intervention in the Browns’ issue was certainly unexpected, but his statement had the power to make several fans happy. However, few of them resorted to opposing him and drew criticisms for backing Deshaun Watson.
This fan was more than happy to hear something good for his side.

The Falcons, Chargers, and Patriots are the opponents the Browns would face in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully, they maintain their streak and can hold their Play-off chances until Watson returns to the field.
