Shocking Myles Garrett Trade to Cowboys Urged As Key to $100 Million Plan

Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett growing frustrated could help the Dallas Cowboys shock the football world with a blockbuster trade.

The Dallas Cowboys’ offseason has arrived, which means it’s time for fans of "America’s Team'' to lay claim to other teams’ stars in football’s version of Manifest Destiny.

This time around, the Dallas faithful have their eyes set on bringing Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett back home. Frustrated with the Browns – still drafting in the top five nearly a decade after taking Garrett with the first pick in 2017 – the superstar has suggested that he needs to see a reasonable path to success. Quarterback Deshaun Watson’s contract might not make that possible.

He is arguably the best defensive player in the NFL (this side of Micah, of course.) And the Cowboys, no matter what the naysayers whine about, can afford whatever the price tag is. ... via their $100 million potential cap room.

Virtually any other offseason exercise is more worthwhile than wishing upon a star for a future Hall of Famer, but the idea of Parsons and Garrett together – with a ball-hawking secondary and franchise quarterback carrying their weight – is enticing enough to daydream about as more fortunate teams get the thrill of January football.

Out of 31 teams we are probably the last team who would be interested

Lol

Respectfully to Garrett….this team isn’t a Garrett away…and many teams aren’t. A lot of compensation to give him for him.

No way are the Cowboys trading for Myles Garrett with the team looking to re-sign Parsons. The Cowboys have practically zero cap space. Just more crazy talk.

If I were this front office I'd be calling the Raiders about Max Crosby as well.

You already have Garrett in Parsons.

Garrett does not take plays off like Parsons, so he has that as an advantage for himself, lol.

 

[Carson]

Lol lol and lol

 

[dcstar]

That would fit the Jones' way.

Aging soon to be average guy... absolutely no doubt great for a decade...but

Go Cowboys!

garrett is the type of player that i think makes many teams (including dallas) a garrett away.

I mean the idea of two of them is enticing. But it's not feasible. That much money into two edge rushers just isn't realistic.

This has to be a parody

I disagree. On paper it looks great. But Garrett is one man. Garrett on the Chiefs I could see it. Teams like the Commanders and Cowboys have so many issues....and in regards to Dallas.....the Cowboys have an interior issue. Garrett would upgrade their defensive end position but it wouldn't fix their interior problem.

Not even. Just click bait. Put high profile name and Cowboys in the title and guarantee clicks.

We'll give them a half can of Pringles and a chili dog. It's an honest offer.

Yeah, Garrett played the whole season and he led the Browns to the second pick in the draft. Hall of Fame talent there. Got blown out by Houston in the playoffs with a rookie quarterback.

Garrett is 3 times better than Micah!

Exactly. Look at the Chargers with Mack and Bosa. The defense was still poor until this season.

LOL.
Browns eat 35+mil cap hit to ship him off pre june 1st. Or 16mil more than what he's owed on the books.

they are already at -23mil in cap space. Unless a team is offering multiple 1sts, they aren't going to listen.
Besides, Garrett would want a new deal, as he only is signed through the 26 season.

What's crazy is almost all of their negative cap space is from trading Cooper last year.
