- Lions eyeing a blockbuster move that will threat the Eagles' future in the NFC
- Cooper Kupp trade rumors: One of these three teams could land the star WR
The NFL rumor mill is buzzing with speculation following Myles Garrett's trade request from the Cleveland Browns. DraftKings has already weighed in, posting odds that suggest the Washington Commanders as the frontrunners to acquire the star defensive end, with odds of +3002. The Philadelphia Eagles follow at +450, with the Browns themselves at +500, the Buffalo Bills at +550, and the Detroit Lions at +650.
Garrett's request has sent shockwaves through the league, as he cited his desire to win a Super Bowl as the primary reason for seeking a trade. Despite his impressive track record with the Browns, including four consecutive seasons with 14 or more sacks and multiple Pro Bowl appearances, Garrett is eager to compete on the biggest stage.
The Commanders, looking to bolster their defense, could be an ideal fit for Garrett. His presence on the field would provide a significant boost to their rush and overall defensive capabilities. The Eagles, Bills, and Lions are also potential landing spots, each bringing their own unique advantages and challenges.
The plan for the immediate future
As the Browns navigate this unexpected turn of events, the pressure is on to secure a deal that benefits both the team and Garrett. Browns' general manager Andrew Berry has previously stated that he is not interested in trading Garrett, even for two first-round picks.
However, with Garrett's trade request now public, the Browns may need to reconsider their stance. There is no question that losing him would be a major blow for the team but they could also get a nice package of players and draft picks in return.
The coming weeks will be crucial as teams evaluate their options and make their moves. For Garrett, the goal remains clear: to find a team that can provide him with the best opportunity to achieve his ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl.
