Miles Garrett to Cowboys: Is It a Reality or Fantasy?

The NFL offseason is heating up with rumors swirling around one of the biggest names in the league—Miles Garrett. The Cleveland Browns’ superstar edge rusher has reportedly requested a trade, citing his desire to win and pointing out that he doesn’t want to go from Cleveland to Canton, Ohio, but instead from Cleveland to the Super Bowl. The speculation about Garrett joining the Dallas Cowboys has sent shockwaves through the fanbase, and we’re about to dive deep into whether this trade is truly feasible or just another pipe dream.

Dallas Cowboys: Favorites for Garrett?

According to sports betting sites like Sports Betting Ag, the Cowboys are the betting favorites to land Garrett. But let’s not get too carried away. While the idea of pairing Garrett with Micah Parsons sounds enticing, the reality of such a trade is much more complicated.

The Dallas Cowboys have historically been conservative when it comes to trading away high draft picks or making massive splashes in free agency. That’s not their MO. So, would they actually go after Garrett, a player who could easily command multiple premium draft picks and a massive contract? Or would they stick with their tried-and-true method of developing homegrown talent?

The Cost of Garrett: Is It Worth It?

Here’s the cold hard truth: Garrett isn’t going to come cheap. Reports suggest the Browns would likely demand something in the ballpark of what the Chicago Bears paid for Khalil Mack—a trade that involved multiple first-round picks. While Garrett is slightly better than Mack in some ways, he’s also more expensive, with his cap hit projected to be around $25 million in 2026.

Let’s talk numbers: the Cowboys would not only have to give up significant draft capital (probably two first-round picks and potentially a player like Sam Williams), but they’d also need to fork out a massive new contract for Garrett. This could end up being upwards of $35 million per year, especially when you factor in a deal for Parsons as well.

Could the Cowboys afford this? Technically, yes, but the real question is: should they?

The Perfect Edge Duo: Parsons and Garrett?

Imagine this—Micah Parsons and Miles Garrett on the same defense. It’s a dream scenario for Cowboys fans and could create the best edge duo in NFL history. Garrett’s combination of size, power, and speed has made him a nightmare for quarterbacks, and when paired with Parsons, that defense would be nearly unstoppable.

But is it really worth the risk? The Cowboys’ front office is known for its focus on developing young talent, and giving up multiple first-round picks for Garrett would leave the team with less room to build in other areas.

The Cowboys’ Draft Strategy: A Better Approach?

Instead of making a high-profile trade for Garrett, the Cowboys could opt for a more balanced approach—signing multiple role players at a fraction of the cost of Garrett’s mega-deal. This would free up money to strengthen other areas of the roster, like offensive line depth or secondary help. Remember, the Cowboys haven’t made a big splash since signing Brandon Carr back in 2012.

Trade for Garrett: Reality or Fantasy?

Here’s the bottom line: while trading for Miles Garrett would make the Cowboys a legitimate Super Bowl contender, the odds of this happening are slim. The Cowboys’ financial strategy and preference for building through the draft make this move highly unlikely.
