Browns Get: 2025 1st-round pick (No. 22 overall), 2025 4th-round round pick, 2026 2nd-round pick, 2026 4th-round pick

Chargers Get: EDGE Myles Garrett, 2026 3rd-round pick, 2026 7th-round pick

Nearly a month into the Browns' offseason, Garrett requested a trade. According to The Athletic's Zac Jackson, the Browns want to retain him, but they may not have the roster pieces or plan to convince the star pass-rusher that the team will be playoff contenders in the short-term future.

"The Browns might have a Hail Mary in the works, and all indications are that they're going to continue to hold Garrett and try to present him with a monstrous new contract to help him change his mind. But right now, it looks like Garrett sees what most of us see in the Browns, and that's a team that's not one year or a couple of pieces away."

If Garrett somehow forces the Browns' hand, they could get a massive haul for him, similar to what the Las Vegas Raiders received for prime Khalil Mack from the Chicago Bears in 2018.

Based on Garrett's demand to hear a winning plan from the Browns, his most aggressive suitors will be playoff-caliber squads looking to load up for the 2025 season.

The Chargers could be one of those clubs. With $70.4 million in cap space and coming off an 11-6 campaign, they can give Garrett a new deal and sell him on a brighter future in Los Angeles, one that involves postseason appearances.

Cleveland can use the draft capital to restock its roster with young talent on rookie contracts. In the No. 2 spot, it can also think about taking Penn State product Abdul Carter to replace Garrett on the edge.
