On this Friday edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe dive into the Browns' latest offseason move: the annual restructuring of Deshaun Watson's contract.

They explain why this was a necessary bookkeeping move to get under the salary cap and how it frees up money for free agency.

The crew discusses how this strategy, while common for teams with high-priced quarterbacks, stings more when you haven't gotten elite performance in return.

With new cap space, the focus shifts to the quarterback position.

Should the Browns make a bold, aggressive run at free agent Malik Willis, a player they nearly drafted in 2022? The hosts debate the pros, cons and potential price tag.

They also look ahead to the NFL Draft, breaking down the early top-30 visit from Alabama QB Ty Simpson.

They analyze his connection to offensive coordinator Todd Monken and where he could land in the draft.

Plus, they discuss another key visitor, top wide receiver prospect Carnell Tate, and what it means for the Browns' plans with their first-round pick.
