Myles Garrett Trade Rumor Heating Up As AFC Powerhouse Looks To Make a Big Splash

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

The Myles Garrett trade rumors resurfaced again on Thursday after the Cleveland Browns modified the language of his contract. Garrett, fresh off one of the best seasons of his career, is a sought-after player again.

He won his second Defensive Player of the Year award after breaking the league’s single-season sack record. While the Browns’ defense remains a strong unit in the NFL, the offense struggles mightily.

The Browns have an open window to trade Garrett after Thursday’s decision, and an AFC contender could be lining up to land the defensive end.

Buffalo Bills Could Make Move For Myles Garrett

Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated suggested that the Buffalo Bills would be one of the logical landing spots for the Browns’ superstar.

“Opening a new stadium has a way of forcing a team to punch the accelerator. While Bills fans seemingly need no incentive to support the franchise and have been surviving on heartbreak and provisions stored in the bitter cold snowfall permanently located in their backyards, a Garrett trade could be both a major gift to new head coach Joe Brady and defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, and a way to ensure that neither tank during their first season, making the impulsive firing of Sean McDermott look ridiculous after McDermott turned the program around,” Orr wrote.

“The Bills already moved on Bradley Chubb this offseason, but have been perpetually trying to solve their pass-rushing issues via the veteran market due to late draft picks year after year.”

These two franchises have done business in recent seasons, more notably for Amari Cooper during the 2024 season. The Browns remain adamant that they won’t trade Garrett, but that is what the Raiders said about Maxx Crosby.
