A former NFL receiver has suggested the Buffalo Bills should trade A.J. Epenesa to the Cleveland Browns for Myles Garrett, a proposal that’s sparking debate among fans and analysts alike. Is Garrett worth sacrificing a promising young player like Epenesa, or should the Bills stand pat and trust their current roster?

**The Trade Proposal**

The proposed trade involves the Buffalo Bills sending A.J. Epenesa to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Myles Garrett[1]. This idea has been floated as a potential solution to address the Bills’ need for an elite pass rusher[7].

**What the Bills Would Have to Give Up**

The *Athletic* suggests the Bills may need to include two years of first round picks, a better Day 2 pick swap, a better Day 3 pick swap, a replacement defensive end in AJ Epenesa and Kaiir Elam to acquire Garrett[2]. Another proposal includes the Bills getting Garrett, a 2025 third-round pick (No. 94, via Buffalo) and a 2025 sixth-round pick (via Minnesota) in exchange for Epenesa and Elam[8].

**The Case for Garrett**

* **Elite Talent:** Garrett is considered an elite, generational edge rusher[4]. In 2024, Garrett had 14 sacks, 47 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, and 28 QB hits[2][3].
* **Super Bowl Contender:** Acquiring Garrett would signal the Bills are serious about competing for a Super Bowl[2].

**The Case Against the Trade**

* **High Cost:** Acquiring Garrett would require a “massive haul”[1]. Some analysts believe the cost would be at least two first-round picks, a mid-round pick swap, and a player like AJ Epenesa or Kaiir Elam[3].
* **Epenesa’s Potential:** Epenesa is a replacement defensive end who started the entire year for the Bills[2]. Trading him would create a hole on the Bills’ defense.
* **Browns’ Reluctance:** The Browns have made it clear they have no intention of trading Garrett, at least not right now[2].

**Other Potential Suitors**

Besides the Bills, teams like the Washington Commanders, Chicago Bears, and Green Bay Packers may also be interested in Garrett[2][4][5].

**Fan Frenzy: Worth the Risk?**

The proposed trade has ignited a debate among fans[6]. Some believe Garrett is worth the high price tag, while others are hesitant to give up valuable assets for a single player.

Whether the Bills should pursue a trade for Garrett remains to be seen. However, the suggestion has sparked a lively discussion among fans about the team’s priorities and long-term strategy.
