Myles Garrett Is Over It
Superstar DE Myles Garrett wrote up a nice note thanking Cleveland for the smiles and (mostly) cries, and officially requested a trade.
Soooo... Dallas Turner for Myles who says no? :P Or can we somehow pair them together?? Or does this 99.9% chance have nothing to do with us? Probably, but big news regardless.
Cleveland is in a freefall.
EDIT: Thanks @"Canthony" for correcting me. Originally I kept calling Garrett, Myles Turner. Whoops.
Pelissero keeps saying there's never been a precedent for a rookie QB to miss his entire 1st season and then be named the starting QB week 1 of his 2nd season.
[b]I don't know about that but you know what else there's never been a precedent for? A team taking a QB in the top 10--the highest they've ever selected a QB in the franchise's 64 year history--and then trading him before he's taken a meaningful snap.[/b]
I don't think Tommy P. is as dialed in with this current regime as he'd like to be. I've seen some interesting opinions from him the last 2 years. And you're exactly right.
I thought about something, Garrett wants out because he knows there is no chance of winning, especially with Watson out most likely all next year. The Browns can appease Garrett with trading for Darnold. Stefanski is close to our organization as well. You bring in Darnold, only way you can guarantee that is if they trade for him, that may entice Garrett to stay.

I could see us being very in on Garrett if they trade him, but I do not see the Browns wanting Sam. Those moves seem counterintuitive unless they think they can shoot the moon with the roster they got plus Sam and picks, and contend next year. That'd be tough.
A big part of this is keeping the fans happy and engaged - at least by Cleveland standards.
There is a shiny new, domed stadium in Brook Park at stake.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
We had this talk in another thread, but the Browns are currently -27 million in cap space. Garret has 2 active years left on his deal, and then 4 years of void. They move on from him prior to 6/1 they are going another 15 million in the wrong direction.
Also, if we were looking for an edge rusher why wouldn't we pursue Maxx Crosby? 2 years younger, the raiders are in big need of a QB....I just don't bite on the Garret interest for us.

If we invest more cap and draft picks assets into edge rusher, fire Kwesi now. It's our deepest position on the team even if Patrick Jones leaves.
We need to start stockpiling picks to supplement our starters and depth around JJ McCarthy and that rookie contract for the next couple years.
Also, Garrett is a phenomenal player but I still can't get past him smacking another dude in the face with his helmet. Not a fan of his.
