Former NFL GM suggests wild trade idea for Browns, Myles Garrett

Barring an incredible turn of events, the Cleveland Browns are not trading Myles Garrett. They might listen to offers just for the sake of due diligence, but there’s probably less than a one percent chance he’ll actually be moved before the NFL trade deadline.

However, that won’t stop fans and media pundits from making crazy trade ideas for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

Take former NFL general manager and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum, for example.

During a recent episode of ESPN’s Get Up, Tannenbaum concocted a wild trade proposal involving the Browns and Detroit Lions, in which Cleveland would send Garrett to the Lions in exchange for running back Jahmyr Gibbs, three first-round picks and a second-rounder. .

Tannenbaum is known for coming up with incredibly unrealistic ideas, so his trade offer shouldn’t come as a surprise.

While it would certainly represent a huge move for the Browns, the team would face an absolutely huge dead blow if Garrett is traded, so this wouldn’t even make much sense for Cleveland financially.

As for the lions, yes; Aidan Hutchinson is injured. Understood. But would they really commit that much capital to Garrett when Hutchinson is only 24 years old and likely to be in Detroit for the foreseeable future?

It doesn’t make much sense for either side.

Right now, the Browns don’t appear to be going with an all-out rebuild, so unless things change drastically in the next few days, Garrett will stay put.
