The Cleveland Browns could be at a crossroads with their franchise star, Myles Garrett. Reports suggest that if Garrett is traded, he could be packaged alongside quarterback Deshaun Watson in an effort to offload Watson’s massive contract. Could this blockbuster trade reshape the Browns’ future?

Garrett, one of the NFL’s most dominant defensive players, has reportedly requested a trade, citing his desire to compete for a Super Bowl. Despite his love for Cleveland, he believes his best shot at a championship lies elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Watson’s contract remains one of the most burdensome in the league, with nearly $73 million in cap hits looming over the next two seasons. NFL insider Mike Florio has floated the idea of a package deal: "If you want Myles Garrett, you have to take Deshaun Watson."

The financial implications of such a trade would be enormous, requiring a team with significant cap space willing to absorb Watson’s contract while securing Garrett’s future with an extension. Could the Browns actually pull this off? What teams might be willing to take the risk? And what would this mean for Cleveland’s long-term success?

We break down all the possibilities and potential landing spots in this must-watch discussion. Drop your thoughts in the comments! Should the Browns trade Garrett and Watson together, or is keeping Garrett the right move for the franchise?
