In a recent development, San Francisco 49ers’ linebacker Fred Warner and tight end George Kittle have publicly expressed their interest in bringing Cleveland Browns’ defensive end Myles Garrett to their team. Garrett, a four-time All-Pro and former Defensive Player of the Year, has reportedly requested a trade to a contending team, making him a highly sought-after player this offseason.

Fred Warner’s Recruitment Efforts

During an appearance on the “Nightcap Show” with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco, Warner was asked about potential offseason additions to bolster the 49ers’ defense. He responded by highlighting Garrett’s trade request and added, “Hey Myles, what’s up, we were just chopping it up at the Pro Bowl!”

George Kittle’s Pitch

Similarly, George Kittle, speaking on the “Up & Adams Show” with Kay Adams, praised Garrett’s abilities and expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of adding him to the roster. Kittle stated, “I’m all for adding really good football players to my roster… You don’t have to score as many points when you have a guy like Nick Bosa and/or Myles Garrett on this side.” He concluded with a direct message to Garrett: “Hey Myles, we could be really good friends, I promise.”

Potential Impact of Garrett Joining the 49ers

If the 49ers were to acquire Garrett, it would create a formidable defensive front, pairing him with Nick Bosa. This duo could potentially become one of the most dominant pass-rushing tandems in the NFL, significantly bolstering the 49ers’ defense. However, it’s important to note that while current players can express interest, any official recruitment or tampering is regulated by NFL rules.

As the offseason progresses, it will be interesting to see how these recruitment efforts unfold and whether the 49ers can make a compelling case to bring Myles Garrett to San Francisco.
