Browns Reopen Myles Garrett Trade Window After $29.2 Million Bonus Deferral
6 articles · Updated · 247Sports · Jun 1
June 1 cap rules now let Cleveland trade Myles Garrett while spreading about $41 million in dead money over two seasons, after a March deal deferred his $29.2 million option bonus.
A post-June 1 move would leave the Browns with $15.53 million in dead money in 2026 and $25.56 million in 2027, while creating roughly $8 million in 2026 cap space.
Fresh rumors say the Rams have called with a major offer and the Eagles are again pushing for Garrett, though the Eagles' interest has stronger prior reporting and the Rams link remains unconfirmed.
Garrett has skipped voluntary OTAs, and Cleveland's June 9-11 mandatory minicamp is the next key marker for whether trade speculation cools or intensifies around the 30-year-old pass rusher.
With a no-trade clause in hand, which Super Bowl contender will Myles Garrett ultimately choose as his new home?
Is trading a future Hall of Famer the only way for the Browns to solve their decades-long quarterback crisis?
