Myles Garrett could be on his way out of Cleveland as the star defensive end requested a trade from the Browns on Monday.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Garrett cited his “desire to win and compete on the biggest stages” as his reason for wanting out of Cleveland, which went 3-14 this season.
The market for Garrett will undoubtedly be massive. One executive even said they would give up “two first-round picks and more to land Garrett,” per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports.
As teams prepare to put their offers in, here’s a look at where each team stands in terms of salary cap heading into the 2025 season, per Spotrac:
Any team in the NFL would benefit by adding Garrett, but not every squad has the assets to land him in a trade.
The Chicago Bears, armed with the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, could be interested in getting into the Garrett business. It wouldn’t be the first time the Bears scored a star edge-rusher, as they landed Khalil Mack in a blockbuster deal back in 2018.
Chicago’s biggest need this offseason is help on the offensive line. If the Bears hold on to the No. 10 pick, that’s likely what they’ll use it for, but it might be worth trading if it means landing Garrett.
The Kansas City Chiefs could also get into the mix for Garrett to ensure their championship-level defense doesn’t face any setbacks this offseason. Garrett stated that his desire to be traded comes from a place of wanting to compete for a championship. Who else would be better to join than the team on the brink of winning three straight?
The Chiefs don’t have any high picks in this year’s draft by nature of being one of the best teams in the league, but they could give Cleveland a haul of selections to make up for their lack of a top-10 pick.
The New England Patriots possess the No. 4 pick in this year’s draft, which they could trade to the Browns to give them a pair of selections in the top five. Furthermore, New England has a few quarterbacks on its roster it could include in a trade such as rookie Joe Milton, who impressed in his limited action this season.
The Patriots might not be a Super Bowl contender yet, but they could give Garrett a massive contract next offseason with their seemingly endless cap space.
Teams can go ahead and prepare their offers in the coming weeks, but it seems the Browns won’t be listening to them just yet as a team spokesperson said, they “aren’t entertaining trade offers for Myles,” per Tom Withers of the Associated Press.
