Myles Garrett has officially requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns, a development reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Browns are currently facing challenges with their quarterback situation and are limited in both draft capital and salary-cap space. Trading Garrett could accelerate their much-needed rebuild by securing a package of premium picks or players.

Garrett, recognized as a generational edge-rusher, is expected to attract interest from every team in the league, though only a select few contenders may have the capability to complete a deal. The exact demands from the Browns regarding compensation for their star pass-rusher remain unclear, but some analysts suggest that the cost may be manageable. According to a general manager who spoke with Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Garrett might only require one first-round pick alongside additional Day 2 selections. With this context, several potential trade packages have been proposed to entice Cleveland into parting with Garrett.

For instance, one scenario sees the Browns receiving the 2025 first-round pick (No. 10 overall), the 2025 second-round pick (No. 41), and the 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 149), while the Chicago Bears acquire Garrett. The Bears have experience in trading for elite edge rushers, having previously secured Khalil Mack ahead of the 2018 season. Although they may not be willing to offer as substantial a package as they did for Mack, a critical component of their offer would likely be highlighted by the No. 10 overall pick. If Garrett joins the Bears, he would complement an already talented defense and help revitalize their pass-rush after a disappointing 2024 season.

Another potential trade package could involve the Green Bay Packers, who might offer the 2025 first-round pick (No. 23 overall), the 2025 second-round pick (No. 54), and the 2025 third-round pick (No. 87) in exchange for Garrett. The Packers are in need of a strong defensive leader, especially following their recent playoff exit. Acquiring Garrett would significantly enhance the Packers' defensive capabilities and could mirror past acquisitions that shifted the balance of power in the NFL. With Garrett's consistent performance, Green Bay could assert itself even further on the defensive front.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs could offer a package including the 2025 first-round pick (either No. 31 or 32 overall), the 2025 second-round pick (No. 63 or 64), and the 2025 fourth-round pick (No. 132 or 133), along with edge rusher Mike Danna. Garrett's addition to one of the NFL's most successful franchises would be a significant move, potentially reinforcing their Super Bowl aspirations. The Chiefs have a track record of recent success, and securing Garrett would only enhance their championship-caliber roster around quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

In a different scenario, the New England Patriots might consider providing the Browns with the 2025 first-round pick (No. 4 overall), the 2025 third-round pick (No. 69), another third-round pick (No. 77), and quarterback Joe Milton III. Under new head coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots aim for a swift turnaround after a challenging season. The defense, ranked low in multiple categories, stands to benefit immensely from an elite edge rusher like Garrett, potentially rejuvenating their playoff hopes.

Finally, the Washington Commanders could offer their 2025 first-round pick (No. 29 overall), the 2025 second-round pick (No. 61), the 2025 third-round pick (No. 79), and the 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 148). The Commanders showed promise in the previous season but fell short in the NFC Championship Game. Enhancing their defense with a player of Garrett's caliber would be a vital step in solidifying their position as Super Bowl contenders next year. The new ownership is prepared to make bold moves, recognizing Garrett as a transformative addition to the roster.
