Myles Garrett Trade Speculation Centers on Commanders, Eagles

Myles Garrett, the Cleveland Browns' standout defensive end, has requested a trade after eight seasons, expressing a desire to compete for a Super Bowl. Analysts highlight the Washington Commanders as the top candidate to acquire him due to their financial flexibility, championship potential, and need for enhanced pass-rushing capabilities. Bill Barnwell noted that the Commanders could potentially trade their 29th overall draft pick and defensive tackle Jonathan Allen for Garrett, who has accumulated 102.5 sacks in his career. Other teams, such as the Detroit Lions, are also interested in Garrett, as they seek to bolster their defensive pressure following a successful 2023 season. The situation mirrors that of Jimmy Butler, with both players seeking environments that maximize their talents and championship aspirations. With Garrett’s elite performance and status as the 2023 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, his potential trade could significantly impact the NFL landscape.
