As the NFL Combine approaches, rumors around Myles Garrett’s future with the Cleveland Browns are heating up. Despite being an integral part of the team, trade proposals involving Garrett have surfaced, with one notably suggesting a potential trade to the Detroit Lions. This trade would see the Lions send two first-round picks (No. 28 in 2025, and No. 32 in 2026), a third-round pick in 2025 (No. 101), a third-round pick in 2026, and defensive tackle Brodric Martin to the Browns in exchange for Garrett and a fifth-round pick (No. 165) in 2025, along with a second-round pick (No. 62) in 2026.
The proposal makes sense for Detroit, as they look to bolster their defense by pairing Garrett with the returning Aidan Hutchinson. However, the value of the draft picks involved—particularly the Lions’ first-round picks which are likely to fall closer to the second round—has been a point of concern. The trade might not offer as high a return for the Browns as many fans would hope, but it could be a strategic move to reload their roster quickly with valuable picks.
Though the rumors are intriguing, it’s still unclear if Cleveland is willing to move on from their star defensive player. With the NFL Combine just around the corner, discussions could heat up further, and it’ll be interesting to see if the Browns and Lions explore this option more seriously.
