The Browns adjusted Garrett's contract (more tradeable) -- (See new thread)

[DarkVader33]

Oh, you don’t have to say anything. The fact that defense of this garbage FO is all you wrote tells us exactly who you are

We know who you are. But we’re not allowed to say it here.

 

[Blackrain]

Garrett will be 31 in December his best days are past him who in their right mind trades two first round picks for a guy you might get 2 years out of.

Most players are retired by 29 years old the average career is three and a half years.

Garrett is a great player but he is on borrowed time sure some players play into their late 30s but this is the exception rather than the rule.

First round draft picks on rookie contracts makes much more sense

 

[StarOfGlory]

He's a great guy!!


Has anyone even thought that trading this much for a 30 year old player, going on 31??? YIkes

Reggie White had 16 sacks at age 37 for Green Bay. Garrett is the closest player I’ve seen to Reggie White.

 

[DarkVader33]

He had 23 sacks last year. It’s a little risky at his age but he is at his peak right now.

There are no guarantees that Myles Garrett will play until he's 37 years old.

Yes he may be in the same realm of talent but saying he will play seven more years no one can guarantee that .

 

[Verdict]

NO.
Use the 1st rounders, that can be used for 3 players over the next 2 years.
Also slight trade down can get 4 or 5 players.

Not worth it to give up all that draft capitol for 1 players.

I totally agree with you. Multiple trade downs can net us several legit starters.

 

[cald0d30s0]

He is 30. But man… He is very very good.

Maybe our 20th, maybe but risky. We still need LBs

 

[Bigrandrn]

I would just trade Pickens straight up.

Pickens and 12 for Garrett and their 2nd or 3rd. Garrett with Clark and Q….damn. We have 3 starting corners and 2 new safeties….still need to draft LB with out other first….but Garrett with those other two would be nuts.

Several players have been great into their 30s as far as pass rushers. Greene, Bruce smith, Reggie white, Doleman, and a few others….all productive into early 30s, still making 1st and second team all pro. Danille Hunter is older than him and he still looks great. Helps that Garrett is in great shape, no injuries, takes care of himself. We could get 4 more years no issue, plenty of players his caliber did it already.

 

[Chasing6]

I think Jerry should draft all offense and see if we can win consistently scoring 48 points a game.

Guy just set the all time sack record and you say he is past his prime
wow

 

[Bigrandrn]

Pickens and our 20th pick all day long.

Agree….especially if we could get a 3rd back. We picked up a starting corner and safety (maybe 2) in FA, so we need LB still but can get one with 12, and use the 3rds for more…..Garrett with Q and Clark makes our line a total force. We don’t need all pros at every level, having an all pro pass rusher with a all pro and pro bowler DT combo will make a big difference on the back end too.

 

[Blitzen]

Super Bowl........

L.O.L.!!! Whatever window the team had with Dak was during his rookie contract. It’s just jersey sales and marketing deals now while they scratch and claw to 7 wins to avoid the ultimate doom and unforgivable 4-5 win season. What successful teams trade a 1st and second round pick on one player at the mid season trade deadline that are floundering in a failed season? A team determined to keep the average fan tuned into the games through the end of the season.

 

[Blitzen]

Around the rim.

Of course. It’s the only target the Jones boys will aim at now

 

[KingCorcoran]

Did Pickens sign his franchise tag? I did not see that.

 

[kramskoi]

Pickens and 20 should get it done, imo. Throw in a day 2 pick next year if we absolutely have to.

This is just NOT gonna happen. It's not going to be anywhere near as easy as simply going down to the corner store and getting a loaf of bread. It's a 41 million dollar cap hit for the Browns if they trade him before June 1. After their draft class is accounted for they would be only ~10 million under the cap...so that 41 mil hit would put them roughly 30 million over. He also has a no-trade clause, which means he only goes where he wants to go.

And on the Pickens side? Highly unlikely that he will be traded before the draft. There are no reports of any negotiations with any other teams. Hell...ain't much talking in Dallas right now. He has to sign the tag before he can be traded.

And...why would Cleveland want to pair a near 40 mil/yr WR with a rookie QB, when they could simply draft one at #6 (i.e...Carnell Tate) and save a ton of cash?

 

[Bigrandrn]

Did Pickens sign his franchise tag? I did not see that.

True….he may flat out reject it knowing it was the browns lol, unless they were willing to give him big dollars, then maybe he would sign and trade? For Daks window, getting Garrett for another 4 years would be a great pickup. Could draft another wr with our other first. I just don’t trust for sure getting real impact players in the draft, and Garret is a known, current high level player with zero red flags.

All teams know AJ Brown will be available after June 1. He can be had for a 2027 3rd round pick and the acquiring team would owe him $29 million for the 2026 season and for $4 million guaranteed him for 2027, they could pay it and walk away with no cap hit, if so disposed. Significantly less risk than the massive deal Pickens will want. And significantly less to give up than Dallas will want for Pickens.

Pickens is playing on the tag for Dallas this season. That’s just the way it is. He may be unhappy, but if he doesn’t like it there’s always barber school. Garrett will be traded after June 1. Not to the Cowboys. That’s just the way it is.

Why a Myles Garrett Trade Makes Sense, and 12 Possible Destinations​

Conor Orr reads between the lines on the Browns’ maneuver to restructure their star pass rusher’s contract and finds some possible suitors.

Dallas Cowboys​

While Jerry Jones is more likely to discuss this trade and reap the benefits of free publicity than actually consummate it, Dallas has been on a defensive upgrade kick this offseason and was (again, theoretically) interested in Crosby. Garrett has the third-highest cap charge on the Browns this season, so shoehorning him onto a roster with Dak Prescott is not impossible. Garrett would provide Jones with a bona fide star, which he loves to collect like one who procures children’s toys (keep in the wrapping, for display and clout purposes only). Garrett is also from Arlington, went to Texas A&M and may want to spend the remainder of his career without those nagging income taxes.

I just don’t trust for sure getting real impact players in the draft, and Garret is a known, current high level player with zero red flags.

The Browns obviously have a plan of what they want to do with Garrett. I don’t think anyone believes it involves using him to acquire a top wide receiver.

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is very close to the Manning family going back to his days as a major booster of the University of Tennessee. A blind man can see what Haslam has in mind for the 2026 season. It does not include the efforts of All-Pros like Garrett and Pickens.
