In a stunning turn of events, the Detroit Lions have emerged as a potential landing spot for Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett. The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year has requested a trade after eight seasons with the Browns.
Garrett’s impressive resume, which includes seven consecutive seasons with double-digit sacks, makes him a highly coveted asset. The Lions, who already boast a talented edge rusher in Aidan Hutchinson, could pair Garrett with Hutchinson to create a formidable pass-rushing duo.
However, acquiring Garrett won’t come cheap. ESPN’s Dianna Russini reports that it may take a first-round pick, a second-round pick or two third-round picks, and a player to secure Garrett’s services. Additionally, Garrett’s contract, which is worth $25 million per year, may need to be reworked.
Despite the steep price, the Lions may be willing to take the risk. With Garrett on board, they could become a serious contender in the NFC. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story
