Myles Garrett, the Cleveland Browns’ star defensive end, has sent shockwaves through the NFL with a cryptic five-word statement regarding the possibility of joining the San Francisco 49ers, instantly igniting a firestorm of debate and speculation among the Faithful!
**Garrett Confirms Trade Request**
Myles Garrett confirmed weeks of NFL rumors by publicly requesting a trade to join a Super Bowl contender[1]. While the Browns front office has been adamant about not trading the Defensive Player of the Year, offers from around the league could change that[1].
**The Five Words That Have the Bay Buzzing**
While a move to the Bay Area seemed a distant possibility, Garrett’s recent response to a question about potentially wearing the Red and Gold has fans dreaming. When asked if he would ever consider joining the 49ers, Garrett responded, “Wouldn’t rule it out, it’s possible.”
**A Steep Price to Pay**
Acquiring Garrett won’t be cheap. NFL insiders suggest the Browns would likely receive at least two quality picks in return – either two first-rounders, or a first-rounder and a high-level Day 2 pick package[1][3][5].
**Contenders Lining Up**
Garrett wants to play for a Super Bowl contender[1][3]. Because of his desire for a contract extension, Garrett would have some leverage over which team lands him, as no team is likely willing to give up multiple premium picks for a two-year rental[1]. The average annual value of this contract could push toward $40 million per season[1].
**Other Possible Destinations**
Other possible landing spots for Garrett include the Washington Commanders, Detroit Lions, and Buffalo Bills[4].
**49ers Cap Space**
Trading Garrett would lead to a dead cap charge of over $36 million for 2025 if he was moved before June 1[4].
**Fan Frenzy: Super Bowl or Bust?**
Garrett’s five-word statement has ignited a frenzy among 49ers fans, with social media exploding with discussions about what the team would have to offer in a trade and whether it would be worth the cost.
Whether it’s a realistic possibility or just wishful thinking, Garrett’s words have injected excitement into the NFL offseason and given 49ers fans plenty to debate.
