Eagles Trade Pitch Swaps First Round Picks for $160 Million Edge Rusher
If we look at NFL teams from another purview — a strictly business purview — then there’s a path by which the Philadelphia Eagles might actually be able to make a deal to trade with the Cleveland Browns for NFL All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett.
To wit, the Browns are terrible again. They’re 2-6 and have shown almost zero signs of life. Garrett, once again, is one of the NFL’s very best players and leads the NFL with 10.0 sacks through Week 9.
"If we get Myles, that’s two wrecking balls on the same line. Forget double teams — who they gonna block first?"
The Browns are staring down an epic rebuild. The only way to get better is by getting talented young players.
The Browns can only get those players through the draft.
The higher the Browns pick in the draft, the better players they will get. Preferably in the first round.
In 2022, the Browns gave up 3 first round picks for quarterback Deshaun Watson, along with 4 more later round picks in one of the worst trades in NFL history. It’s also the biggest reason why they’re so bad right now.
If they make a trade with the Eagles for Garrett, it might make up for the historical wrong that was the Watson trade and bring them the kind of haul they gave up for Watson, which Yahoo! Sports reporter Charles Robinson thinks could actually happen.
What Eagles Would Give Up For Garrett
The deal would be the Eagles’ first round picks in 2026, 2027 and 2028 in exchange for Garrett, straight up.
“I know we’re all sick and tired of talking about how Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is always in the mix for potential trades, but there is a lot of buzz in other personnel departments that Roseman might have one big move up his sleeve this time around,” Robinson wrote on October 30. “I’ve had two high-ranking personnel sources tell me Roseman would give up a significant bounty if the Browns were to make Myles Garrett available. It feels a little like other personnel departments are dreamcasting a bit and guessing what Roseman might do, but there’s definitely a sense that the Eagles could be the one team that comes out of nowhere to pull a big deal for a defensive player.”
That, my friends, is called good business after years of bad business, and there might not be anyone in the NFL outside of a handful of quarterbacks not worth giving up for 3 first round picks.
Gauging Garrett’s Impact on Eagles
Garrett, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft and the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, is a 6-time NFL All-Pro and 6-time Pro Bowler.
He’s also a clear cut future Pro Football Hall of Famer — maybe even if he never player another NFL game. Adding him would make the Eagles automatic favorites to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
While we might think the biggest hurdle would be Garrett’s salary — he signed a 4-year, $160 million contract extension in March — it’s really not.
The Eagles might not have to pay defensive tackle Jalen Carter the mega-deal they once thought they would, so the next massive defensive contract they’re looking at paying wouldn’t be until after the 2026 or 2027 season, when cornerback Quinyon Mitchell is eligible for an extension.
Miami Dolphins Declare War on the NFL: ‘We’re Not Stopping Until We Get There’
The Miami Dolphins are sending a loud and clear message to the rest of the NFL — they are not here to settle for mediocrity. With a roster brimming with talent, drive, and hunger for success, the Dolphins have one goal in mind: the top spot in the league.

"We don’t play for second place. Every game, we’re here to show we’re the best. The league hasn’t seen anything like this Dolphins team — we’re coming for the top, and we’re not stopping until we get there,"

Miami has been working relentlessly to build a team that can compete with the league's elite. The coaching staff, led by head coach Mike Macdonald, has been instilling a winning mindset in every player, from the veterans to the rookies.
The Dolphins' offense has been one of the most exciting in the league, with their explosive plays and innovative schemes. With their star quarterback pushing the ball downfield and their talented receiving corps creating mismatches every game, they’re a nightmare for opposing defenses.
But it’s not just the offense that’s driving Miami forward. Their defense has shown immense growth, with younger players stepping up and veterans leading by example. The defense is becoming more aggressive, making timely plays, and helping the team control the game.
