Myles Garrett requests trade

[SBR Andy]

Former DPOY Myles Garrett has requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns. Where do you think he will end up?

Lions would be interesting. Could see the Raiders try and make a splash and pair him opposite Maxx Crosby.

Check out his next team odds below via DraftKings:

Brady gets him

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I've been a Garrett fan for a while. Amazing physique.

He's a good pro. But I have one logistical question. Is his performance < his looks?

When a guy bulks up, that means there's more of him to hit. I haven't seem him dominate games lately. And I know the Browns are a mess with the QB situation etc.

I might not pay a king's ransom for this guy. Also: what Probability do you put on this guy being on some form of PED? If that's all natural, mea culpa.

I think the guy is a HOFer if he retired today.

Yes, he has a physique like a Greek God but he also puts up numbers on the field. So no, I do not think his production is less than his looks. If he was on a winning team, he would probably get even more sacks as he could pin his ears back and rush the passer late in games when his team is winning and the opponent is passing the ball to catch up.

I do not think he is on the sauce, he is just a freak of nature that does not come around often.

I would like to see the Lions make a run for him and pair him and Hutchinson up.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

OK, Jake. Yeah, Garrett might look good in Lion blue.

Not that I care or fault him, but I'd bet dollars to donuts he's chemically enhanced. That helmet incident vs. Pittsburgh was the most obvious roid rage the league has seen since Lyle Alzado used to rip helmets off opponents and throw them across the field.

Kind of like Clemens throwing a broken bat end back at Piazza. The tell is obvious.

Thx, Shea. Ha-ha. Alzado versus Chris Ward.

I have some great memories of Alzado with Howie Long. They became great friends despite a sizable age-gap. Howie was a true natural who excelled at multiple sports...and he had to KNOW that Lyle was roided up to the moon.

[pavyracer]

Falcons should get him. Give them Pitts and a first rounder.

Does anyone have the stats on the team salary caps?

Who has the cap space?

[Thefix13]

Guys had that build since college, he's a classic example of a guy who it comes easy to, not everyone has to juice to be like that. As far as not dominating games, not sure if you are serious or just blind. He is constantly double teamed and still has been the most consistent pass rusher in the league during his time. Not to mention he is not a blatant liability in the run game as many pass rush specialists end up being. The browns likely owe 20% of their wins since he entered the league to him and him alone. The GM isn't refusing to trade him because he wants to stare at his arms, it's because he's a dominant player at the second most important position on the field

[Thefix13]

His cap hits are next to nothing the next two years, something like 6.3 million. The majority of his contract was already paid out via signing bonuses and other methods. The assumption is always that an elite player is only attainable by teams with tons of cap but any team with a competent GM and CFO can make wonders happen by the way they structure any and all contracts. It's a hidden art in the game that is not appreciated enough. The terrible franchises have yet to figure out this method yet and thats why they are bottom fedders.

Garrett doesn't want to be traded really as much as he wants to be paid. If the Browns give him a new guaranteed deal then I doubt Garrett cares much which team he is on

Can't see even a poorly run organization like the Browns letting go of a HOF calibre player still in his prime but they are still the Browns AND they also have Watson's albatross contract that's hanging over them that's going to screw them over for many years to come... So maybe they do look to a rebuild

I don't believe that, he is going to get paid either way. He is tired of being on a losing team and realizes the albatross that Watson's contract is for the next couple of years to the team's success. He wants out and to be on a team that will be a contender next year and the coming years. Cleveland probably won't be a contender for at least a few years until Watson's contract is off the books and they can find something better.

Than you Dwight
Can always depend on you

[darrell74]

Washington
Chargers

Should have dealt him to Detroit in October
Cleveland missed that haul
Lions would have definitely beat Washington in divisional

Well I just got an update that he just signed an extension in Cleveland so not going anywhere

[mjsuax13]

He just wanted more money. He loves being the richest guy on the shittiest team. Can’t wait to see them get dragged around all year.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

He knows how to play the negotiating game; a record contract for a non-QB despite turning 30 this year.

This is a valid point. BURROW supposedly wanted to take less via re-structuring. But the WRs Higgins/Chase couldn't wait to sign for MORE.

WRs are normally Fools-Gold. They look good, but often don't swing a team's W-L record. Bengals and Browns are categorically both messes, there's a reason they perpetually lose.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I used to really like Garrett. No more.

I still think he is on some PED. How is the team going to improve when HE is eating up all the salary cap?

I can’t believe the Browns would pay him this much money. But then again it’s the Browns. The team I’ve followed all my life, so I’m not shocked. Horrible front office. One of the worst in all of sports. Meanwhile the Cavs and Guardians are 2 of the best.

We should close this thread now. It’s the Browns…

END OF MESSAGE.

Yeah. It's a Guaranteed contract. There's a Guarantee clause that says the Browns will miss the playoffs in each of the four contract years.

If Garrett had any stones, he would negotiate DOWN to help the team.

Like MJsuax said… in the end it was all about the money with Garrett. Sad.

Very true. JakeP commented that he will likely be a future HOFer. Yeah, but where are those memories of the Dawg Pound?

I wonder if they could process Watson on retrospective Grand Larceny. Does he have to pick up his check while wearing a ski-mask?

I go back to the dying days of the original Browns b4 Modell moved the team to Baltimore. So vivid, the banners with Art stabbing the fans in the back. The emotion of players jumping into the stands.

You literally have to go back > two generations to find the Brown success. But it is there. Just feels like it's a lifetime ago.

Who's fault is that? If the Browns didn't wanna pay him they didn't have to. You guys are really shocked that a DE said yes to a truckload of money dropped in his lap?
