Man, I'd love to get Garrett, but we honestly need all the picks we can get to keep the team stocked with talent.

[Kiimo]

lol no on Rice.

Imagine trading the best receiving prospect this team has drafter since Travis Kelce for a 30 year old pass rusher.

That's okay, been called worse. Paying peanuts for a true game-wrecking, hall-of-fame defensive end is a nice consolation. Especially when that DE probably has 5 good years left. WRs grow on trees, relatively speaking.

I dig Myles’ signature btw

Joe Thomas. Dude was a perennial All Pro there and probably the best LT of his generation.

[poolboy]

besides his salary take on, how many draft picks would Cleveland want? uggh

From espn+ article about possible fits

The acquiring team would have an easier time doing the deal financially, though. It'd have to pay Garrett just under $20 million this year and $25 million in 2026. Realistically, though, it'd probably have to extend Garrett's contract once that team acquired him. So to make this hypothetical trade easier for both sides, the procedure would probably be for the Browns to rework or extend Garrett's deal prior to the move.

Basically any AFC contender
I could easily see the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills or Texans taking a run at Garrett. Heck, you could throw the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals in here, too -- but the odds of the Browns trading Garrett to a team in their own division feel minuscule.

The reason I've lumped the Chiefs, Bills and Texans together here? If the Browns did deal Garrett, I believe they'd feel very strongly about sending him to an NFC team. That doesn't mean the Chiefs, Bills, Texans, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers or any other AFC contender couldn't get him. It just might cost that team more to do so than it would cost an NFC team, since the strong likelihood is that the Browns wouldn't want to compete against Garrett in the same conference.

Just a matter of time before he's a Bill!

[TheGuardian]

LOL hard no on trading Rice, who is still on his rookie deal and if hadn't of gotten hurt was probably on his way to an all pro season in his second year.

Just no to that.

I think he could be had for a 1st and 3rd.

It won't happen but good God, a line with he, Jones, and Karlaftis would be the scariest thing in the NFL

If peeing your pants was cool then consider me Myles Garrett.

If Mahomes was 37 or 38 years old and we were after another ring or two before he called it a career this is the type of move we BETTER damn well make. We will owe it to Mahomes at that point.

Mahomes is 29 years old. Keep building this thing for the long-term. You dont trade premium draft picks for a defender who turns 30 this season.

[Megatron96]

It would be great if we could somehow end up with MG. JC, we might have the best pass-rushing DL in football.


Seriously doubt we're in the running though. I could see him ending up in WAS.
