After a weekend of shocking news across the sports world, the NFL has added to that thanks to Myles Garrett.

Garrett, the No. 1 pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2017, has requested the team trade him. The 29-year-old went as far as releasing a statement, confirming the update:

In western New York, the attention will turn toward Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane now. Could the Bills make a run at Garrett to try and get over the hump?

It remains to be seen, but without a doubt, it’s worth a shot.

Garrett is in the midst of his prime and he could be a match for the Bills. He had 14 sacks just last season.

While Von Miller was leading the line in 2024, the defender, who will be 36, this offseason has an out in his contract. Garrett could take Miller’s spot, but its all about the business side of it with such big-time player.

Garrett would likely want a new contract if he’s moved so there’s no point in breaking down how his current deal would hit Buffalo’s salary cap. But once Garrett does get one, one would have to think it’s something like the contract Nick Bosa has with the San Francisco 49ers, $34 million per year, the largest in the NFL.

In addition, early speculation via The Athletic’s Dianna Russini states it could cost multiple top draft picks to land Garrett–including a first rounder and Round 2 pick–to start.

The Bills and Beane could try and make all this work, but wanting to actually doing are two different subjects.

Bare minimum, there are two things to keep in mind.

First, Beane knows the Browns. He acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper in a trade with Cleveland at the 2024 NFL trade deadline. Those relationships help.

In addition, Beane just said at his end-of-season press conference that he would love to add such a game-changing player…
