What my post did not address is yet another obvious fact. Under no circumstances will Deshaun Watson be a member of the Cleveland Browns in 2027. For starters, even if the Browns want Watson to return, he will not. The cheering by Browns fans in the aftermath of his 2024 injury locked that outcome in but Watson would also be 31 years old, he may well be the 2026 Comeback Player of the Year but considering the history of injuries and the volume of potential franchise QB's coming into the 2027 draft, I think the Browns will be ready to move on too.
So where does that leave the Browns today?
It leaves the Browns with an urgent need to accumulate draft capital to position themselves to move up to the top of the 2027 draft.
How can they do that? Only one way: Trade Myles Garrett, soon.
Yes Myles Garrett is a future Hall of Famer and he most certainly is the best player in today's NFL however the Seattle Seahawks with their innovative defensive blitzing schemes, proved last season that you can win in the NFL with a defensive line that is good but you don't necessarily need one dominant pass rusher. That said, Myles Garrett transforms a defense for one simple reason. His presence means your defense is playing with 10 defenders against 9 offensive opponents because it takes double teams to even have a hope of stopping Myles Garrett. Some team that is close to winning it all will pay a big premium to get Myles Garrett.
Now is the time. Garrett is reigning NFL Defensive Player of the year, he's 30 years old and at the peak of his game but the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is Arch Manning and in the NFL, a franchise QB is a must if you aspire to consistent winning and to Super Bowls
