Overview
- Myles Garrett, a four-time All-Pro and 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, has requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns, citing team instability.
- Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson described a potential partnership with Garrett as 'deadly' and believes it would elevate the team's defensive line significantly.
- The Lions, coming off a 15-2 season and holding the 10th-most salary cap space in the NFL, have been speculated as a potential landing spot for Garrett.
- Despite the potential benefits, Hutchinson acknowledged that acquiring Garrett would be challenging due to the draft capital required and Detroit's need to manage future contracts, including his own extension.
- Garrett reportedly seeks to join a Super Bowl contender, and the Lions, as the NFC's No. 1 seed in 2024, fit that profile, though the Browns have not indicated willingness to trade him.
