What the odds say: Bills, Commanders favorites to land Garrett
Myles Garrett dropped a bomb early last week by requesting a trade from the Browns.
Garrett has spent his entire eight-year career in Cleveland. He's a four-time first-team All-Pro and 2023 Defensive Player of the Year award winner. Garrett has been the heart and soul of the Browns' defense for nearly a decade, but he's decided to move on with the franchise embarking on another rebuild.
Players of his caliber rarely become available via trade. Garrett has two years remaining on his current contract, which could seem like a bargain to some teams since it doesn't pay him top-five defensive player money.
Every team should call the Browns to find out the asking price. However, some clubs don't have the cap space or assets to acquire the 29-year-old, and Cleveland doesn't have to trade him despite Garrett's request.
So, where could he end up?

The Browns, Bills, and Commanders are the +550 favorites at theScore Bet/ESPN Bet to roster Garrett next season. We'll ignore Cleveland because players typically get their way when making a trade request.
Both Buffalo and Washington desperately need a difference-maker like Garrett to get them over the edge. His addition would go a long way toward the Bills getting past the Chiefs and the Commanders making another run at the reigning champion Eagles.
Working in Washington's favor is the team has $75.2 million in cap space this offseason. Buffalo doesn't have that luxury and would need to get creative to add Garrett.
Philadelphia is the third favorite to land Garrett, which would make its dominant defensive line - the one that won the team the Super Bowl - even scarier. The rest of the NFC, especially the division rival Commanders, should be willing to outspend the Eagles to prevent them from adding to their already loaded roster.
The Cowboys are an interesting option at +1500. Fellow edge rusher Micah Parsons said he'd take a pay cut to help get Garrett in Dallas. Garrett is a Dallas native, so selling him on returning home may not be difficult.
Garrett may be the first chip to fall this offseason. The Browns would likely want picks back for the 2025 draft, and any team trying to acquire Garrett would want a deal done sooner rather than later so it can plan out the rest of the offseason.
