Myles Garrett wants out of Cleveland

Let the bidding begin....

Well, we know he isn't a Bengal.

He probably ain't a Bill.

He should be headed to the NFC. Washington, DET, etc.

Although it won't shock me if Philly makes this move after they lose Sunday.

SING HIM CRAL

darth beach pls

i mean if you’re buffalo you have to offer like 3 1sts. He’s exactly what they need to beat us

To the Chiefs for Tre Smith and Nick Bolton

bring him in for a look

As the Dallas Mavericks GM said "Defense wins championships!"

I’d trade him if I was Cleveland. The guy turns 30 and you aren’t gonna be ready to contend for a couple years even if you get this shit right so get multiple 1st rd picks to rebuild your team and find a QB in the next year or two

We'll trade Sky Moore for him straight up.

Sounds like a malcontent. Offer a 7th.

who has the money to take him?

Even if they'd accept, what salary is Garrett making next year? These edge rushers aren't cheap.

Makes sense. Which probably means Cleveland won't trade him and have an ugly standoff that ends with them paying him a bunch more money.

That's a written plea. He'll get what he gets.

Now Cleveland on the other hand is a different matter.

Oof. That would be so very enticing but so very expensive. Browns would have to eat some serious cap to do it too.

Looks like about 20 mil each of the next two years.

That would actually be a discount for Garrett compared to the going market rate for edge rushers.

Von Miller is making close to that now.

His salary isn't shit, like vet mins the next two years. All his money is tied up in bonuses that Cleveland eats on their cap.

If we could somehow figure out LT, I'd do it. He transforms a defense and for us that DL would be incredible with Jones and Karlaftis.

That's his cap number but most of that is signing bonus and roster bonuses.

I think the unpaid option bonuses would transfer to the new team, so I'm not sure exactly if the team taking him in would have anything on top of the 20 mil each season but i think Cleveland would be on the hook for 36 mil in dead cap this season.

Arizona makes sense.

I doubt an AFC team with a big time QB contract would be interested.

Garrett needs to be more patient. With any luck, Cleveland can be a contender by 2035.

Nico Harrison would’ve already traded him for Von Miller

Garrett's cap hit to the trading team:
2025: $4.96M
2026: $9.75M

DIRT CHEAP. You give up the picks and bring him in!

FOURPEAT

Get one of the FA OTs and send two+ first round picks to line up with Jones and go for 4 SBs

I don't think that is right.

https://www.spotrac.com/news/_/id/11...g-nfl-dead-cap

Because his option bonuses for the next two years aren't due until the 5th day of each league year, the team trading for him would assume those bonuses.

He said he wants a Ring not he wants more money. Get this done Reats Batch...

He battled through a lot of shit this year just to play.

I would worry that the body is starting to break down.

I think the Commanders are going to be the leader in the clubhouse here and for good reason. They have a rookie QB contract and are very aggressive

I 100% could be wrong haha but I just looked it all up and while I do believe "Other Bonus" DOES move to the new team, "Prorated Signing Bonus" stays with the old team. Normally a team would have it a little better balanced, Base-Signing Bonus-Other Bonus's. But the Browns put like minimum amount into his BASE and the rest into Bonus's. When I calculated the cap hit I DID include "Other Bonus" I'll break it out.

2025:
Base: $1.255M
Prorated Signing Bonus: $14.76M
Other Bonus: $3.7M

To calculate what the new team will be hit with, I understand it as you add the Base+Other Bonus and the Prorated Signing Bonus stays with old team: $1,22M+$3.7M=$4.96M

2026:
Base: $1.3M
Prorated Signing Bonus: $10.625M
Other Bonus: $8.45M

New team cap hit: $1.3+$8.45M=$9.75M

Again I could be totally wrong

Skyy Less + Nazi Johnson + Carson Steele for Garrett.

You'd probably have to give him a new contract I'm assuming

I got the bonus numbers from spotrac.

Overthecap has different info in their blurb so who knows.

Good lord.

I'd be willing to part with two 1sts... wouldn't you? You're talking about a DL with Chris Jones and Myles Garrett for a two year rental. Mahomes with two Pro Bowl receivers and Andy Reid on the other side of the ball.

Like.... a fivepeat wouldn't be out of the question.

Watch Dallas trade for him. Jerry Jones loves star players.

He could have been had this year.

The biggest argument FOR doing it is you know one of your cornerstones, Kelce, is about to retire.

i wouldn't give up 2 1sts for him. I'd give up about what Miami gave us for Hill. i think there will be more desperate teams with better draft capital who will swoop in and offer too much.

Receptionist : Mr Berry, you have a call from a Bert Peach on line one

Andrew Berry : hmmm sounds kinda familiar. Patch him through

Brent : Hey Andy, been a minute since we talked, but I’m a GM for a NFL team, and I understand Myles Garrett might be available for a trade this offseason. Is this true?

Andrew Berry: It’s definitely in the realm of possibilities. Which team did you say you are GM of again?

Burnt : That’s not important right now, but I’m calling to make you one helluva offer for Mr Garrett

Andrew Berry : hmmm ok well let’s hear this amazing offer

Bert : you might wanna be sitting down Andy cuz this offer is gonna knock you off your feet. I did a little basic math, and this is what I came up with. Mr Garrett while a decent player, has zero rings. Yes zero, like Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson to name a few. Andy, here’s what we’re willing to offer, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Andy were offering you 2 (probably 3) time SB champion Skyy Moore, 2 (possibly 3) time SB champion Nazeeh Johnson, and 1 (possibly 2) time SB champion Carson Wentz for Myles “zero rings” Garrett! Now quick math tells me that after the Super Bowl these players will have a total of 8 rings between them. Now Andy I’m not sure if you’re familiar with a retired player named Tom Brady, but bandwagon fans have been calling him the goat, because he’s the only player with 7 rings. What we’re willing to part with is one more ring than he has. Now imagine trotting out these 3 players on opening night 2025. How dominant will the Browns be with more rings than any franchise has ever won? Imagine the so called goat wrapped up in 3 different players. That’s a home run of a deal. Now I’m sure you’re flabbergasted at such an incredible deal, so to make it a little more fair to us, we just request you pay a large part of this ringless players guaranteed money. I’m sure you don’t want to feel as if you fleeced another GM, so that would definitely get us closer to even on this remarkable once in a lifetime opportunity.

Andrew Berry : well it certainly sounds like an incredible offer. 8 championship rings vs zero seems like it’s too good to be true. Why would you make such a lopsided offer that doesn’t favor you? What’s the catch?

Bart : that’s why we’re just asking you to pay out the guaranteed portion of his contract. We feel it at least gets it close enough that we don’t feel it was a bad deal for us. So Andy, what do you think? If you’re not interested it’s not a big deal. The Steelers have shown some inte…

Andrew Berry : No, no. There’s no need to shop these players around. Send over the contract I’ll look it over, and if it’s laid out as you claim, I’ll get it signed, and sent back to you so we can announce this deal the minute the trade window opens. Browns fans are going to be ecstatic with all these riches! Might even earn me an executive of the year award!

Thank you Mr Bleach, send that contract over asap and let’s get this done!

Andrew Berry : send over the paperwork

The NFC is as wide open as it will ever be and the Commanders have Daniels on a rookie contract. Pretty certain they are also #1 or #2 in cap space as well. If I was their GM, I am going all-in. Garrett via trade and Tee Higgins in free agency.

And they have the money to give him a new deal and guarantee a shitload of it (or just bonus him to the hilt).

Their draft picks should also be a little more valuable than Buffalos, expecially if you figure that Daniels may have a bit of a sophomore slump.

Yeah, Washington makes a ton of sense.

That’s why Denver might try to sneak in and add him to their defense. Or even worse could you imagine if Faders added him to a line of Crosby, and Wilkins? Might be a top 5 all time DL.

Chicago also has a QB on a rookie deal.

Wouldn’t their picks be worth even more than Washington’s?

Ben Johnson may feel like he’ll get the offense right with all those WRs.

Or trade for Myles and Reek. But I have a feeling one of our division rivals is going make a hard push for Reek. Not like we haven’t shut him down before. But that seems like the kind of desperation move a team that just made the playoffs, and incorrectly thinks they’re close to matching the boogeyman that resides in their division. I honestly hope LAC or the Dungkeys trade some good draft capital for him.

Also wonder if the Bills try to restructure Josh to free up some money to make a run at Myles . Beane needs to distract from his horrible draft decisions he’s made. More false hope for their shitty fanbase.

Chicago gave up more sacks than anybody last year. 68 freaking sacks. Some of it was Caleb holding the ball too long but the OL overall just has not been great.

I think Ben Johnson is gonna want to fix that OL first. They’re gonna go after Trey Smith INo and then draft a LT prospect with their first rd pick

completely agree. chicago will be focusing on their offense first and foremost. johnson is gonna want to put caleb in the best position possible to succeed. their defense is already solid, it'll be better for more of next year if the offense isn't a complete pit of despair.

He's not a young pup anymore so there's def some risk.

If I were gonna blow out a couple first rounders and spend big coin, I'd make Jerry tell me no on Micah first.

If he's sincere about winning SBs, he'll agree to a large discount to play for the Chiefs.

I couldn't imagine what would happen to this D having him line up next to Chris Jones.

:huh:

We have division rivals?

I'd give up a bunch of draft capital for Micah Parsons.

Imagine what Chris Jones would do to Colleen Wolfe.

It would be something similar.

All else aside, I give him credit for actually penning a public letter stating his intentions. These stories are usually from an unnamed source.

Browns front office licking their lips thinking about all the busts they're going to draft with the haul for Garrett.

What a ****ing sorry ass list. I think I'd kill myself if I were a Browns fan. 1 pro baller in 6 years.

He said his goal is to play in a Super Bowl, not lose AFC championship games. I doubt he'd want to go there.

I wonder if it would have teams drop out of the running if for example Garrett says his top team would be KC and will walk after his two more years are up? Kinda a NBA type move.

I wonder if a team out there could agree to take on Watsons's contract in a Garrett trade. Maybe something Washington could do and then not have to give up a ton in draft picks.

Watson would cost about $46M the next two years! OUCH BUT Washington has a rookie QB and could in theory bring on Watson and his contract if it means also bringing in Garrett.

You want Less Nazi Steel in exchange for Garrett?:hmmm:

i sincerely doubt it

This is gonna end up being a terrible trade whoever decides to do it because Cleveland is going to want a **** ton of picks. You're talking 2 1's and a shit ton of other things added on.

The Browns aren’t going to entertain trades. Which is dumb as hell. The Browns suck from top to bottom as long at they are involved with Deshaun Watson on the payroll.

Maybe the Browns will force him to retire.

I see a near zero chance to sign him.

Someone will sell the farm to get him.

Garrett you say ? PBJ


Reality? It's not happening in KC! And I sure as hell hope nobody in the AFCW gets him!

Lmao Myles Garret isn't coming to KC.

I've never heard of most of those players, tbh.

Dear God. 6 days to the Super Bowl and people are getting semis thinking about trading for Myles Garrett? 2011 called and wants it's fans back.

He wasted his career there. Should have left far sooner.

Two things:

Dude had 14 sacks this year so I don't want to hear how he's broken



It will NOT cost more than one first round pick to get him. Probably a 1st and a 3rd and a player

Can he play LT? :)

Here's my source on this. We have an extra third, just sayin

According to our draft forum, we ain't getting a left tackle with the first pick anyway

Not sure why anyone would waste their time, Chiefs are already winning Super Bowl 60 anyway.

I love the confidence but we're going to lose some defensive players this offseason after the parade

Bengals fans calling for the 1 seed with Garrett out of the division yet?

No hope in Cleveland. They are so far from anything it's crazy.

Come on, you pancake eating MFer..

Only a team with a cheap QB can afford him. Denver gonna sell the farm.

I'm betting on them as well, Payton wants to take this division from us so badly. He's not going to, but he'll try everything in his power to make it happen.

I expect to see a Saints style load up while Nix is on his rookie deal. Then, he'll keep kicking the can down the road until he flames out and moves on to his next con, leaving the Donks with 120 million in dead cap space and zero draft picks.

Should be fun!

Chiefs dont need Garrett...they already have a winning system in place. Keep the picks and continue to build balanced teams. Let teams that dont have Mahomes sell the farm...
