Committed: Cleveland Browns successfully signed a veteran QB with great potentials

Myles Garrett to the Philadelphia Eagles trade rumors certainly aren’t dying down as NFL free agency approaches.

Earlier this week, ESPN had a report on the Eagles’ interest in Garrett. Now it’s The Athletic’s Diana Russini who’s saying that Howie Roseman could “make a big swing” for the Cleveland Browns’ star pass rusher.

Here’s an interesting exchange between Russini and Chase Daniel on Friday’s Scoop City podcast:

interested in Garrett. And not only because they have a need at edge rusher. But because he’s an incredibly dominant force that the Eagles have seen up close in joint training camp practices over some of the past few summers. They saw him single-handedly ruin their ability to even get anything going on offense in practice one day. Garrett is the kind of player you move heaven and earth to acquire. Players of his caliber are rarely available.

The Browns continue to say they won’t trade Garrett. The feeling here is that they’ll have to budge at some point.

Based on historical precedent, expecting the trade to cost less than two first-round picks is not crazy. Of course, Garrett is so good that this might be an exception. And the Eagles’ first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is obviously one spot away from a second-round selection since Philly won Super Bowl LIX.

The feeling here is that it’s more likely the Eagles do NOT acquire Garrett and they DO retain Baun. But I’m never going to say never with Howie in the mix. I don’t doubt he’ll try hard to make it happen.
