Cleveland Browns Edge Rusher Myles Garrett, six-time All-Pro, officially asked for trade on Monday. Defensive player of the NFL year in 2023 and the best candidate who again won the award in 2024, Garrett is a generational player in the premium position and is still in a perfect position, even though he will turn 29 in December.
Can the general director Brian Gutekkunst and Green Bay Packers be in the trade mixture?
Some people perceive the Packers as the highest matching the potential Garrett trade scenario.
Eric Edholm from NFL Media chose the Packers as one of Nine “best bands” for GarrettComparing the idea with the notable signing Reggie White in 1993, which led to the title of Super Bowl and turning the need for Packers to summarize after the disappointing season of 2024 disturbing the quarterback.
Jacob Camenker from the USA Today also identified the Packers as The best place to landEspecially, considering potential evaporation between Garrett and Rashan Gary and the available space of the team entering the season.
The addition of Garrett-best in the Grze-Nathemia would make Packers one of the best contenders to the Super Bowl NFL in 2025 and would defend Jeff Haffa a chance to be a really dominant unit.
Of course, there are obvious obstacles, especially when watching potential trade through the Packers lens. First of all, the brown would have to be open to trade with the participation of one of the best players in football. The franchise strongly pushed against the idea of Garrett trade, so it is possible that this idea will not leave the ground. Secondly, trade for Garrett would cost a significant capital project, probably covering many types of first round. Finally, Packers would have to feel comfortable, giving Garrett a contract on the market in Edge Rusher.
Edholm and Camenker also emphasized Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears as a potential adaptation to Garrett, so it is possible that Packers will have stern competition with the rest of the NFC North, if the brownie decides to replace their glow supergivision.
The idea is tempting – especially when considering Reggie White parallels – but probably also unlikely. Packers rarely perform a hit with veterans and significant draft capital, although the team was in the Khalil Mack lottery in 2018. Completing trade for Garrett in 2025 would be as shocking as Packers when he signed a contract with Green Bay as a highly desirable free agent 32 years ago. And it is possible that adding Garrett can do what has not been done since 2010 and restore Packers to Super Bowl.
