The NFL offseason has shifted toward the 2026 NFL Draft, but teams remain active in free agency and the trade market.
The Cleveland Browns recently restructured Myles Garrett’s contract in a move that could make him easier to trade.

Around the same time, the Browns proposed allowing teams to trade draft capital up to five years in advance. Although the organization insists it does not plan to move Garrett, a potential suitor has already emerged.

Reports identify the Philadelphia Eagles as the favorite to acquire the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The price will be steep, but the move makes sense for Philadelphia.
The Eagles lost Jaelan Phillips in free agency and committed long term to Jordan Davis. Adding Garrett would immediately elevate Philadelphia into clear Super Bowl favorite territory.

Just two years removed from a dominant Super Bowl victory, the Eagles appear motivated to upgrade their pass rush in 2026. Their formula remains simple: control the game on offense and dominate on defense.

Garrett signed a massive four-year extension last year after publicly requesting a trade. Despite delivering a historic 2025 season, he showed visible frustration as the Browns managed just five wins.
The key question now is cost. How much will a team give up for Myles Garrett? The bidding likely starts with multiple first-round picks.
Would the Eagles send Cleveland three or more first-rounders for the All-Pro defender?
