i just don't see myles garrett. brock needs a new deal. i think we get dre done, so we pay 2 off ball linebackers, and we pay nick about the top D player salary, and we pay a lot of guys on O also. also i question if garrett would want to go to SF. he wants to win and be on a contender. that's what's sorely lacking for him. we won 6 games. in his mind, KC would certainly be more of a contender for a ring. in anyones mind really.
naah, Dre's contract should be affordable (everybody is talking something around 6M in a 1 year prove-it contract) and next yeaar the salary cap is going to explode after finishing the COVID corrections. Sign him now and backload the deal.
Besides, if they sign Garrett they can cut both Lloyd and Gross-Matos (both don't deseve the 10M they are due next season).It would save 16M. That's almost what Garrett would earn with his current contract and close to what he possibly would earn with a new one (if he signs a new one).
I think it's possible to have Brock, Bossa, Garrett, Warner, Dre, Ayiuk, Kittle,.. long term with the awaited cap explosion. They will certainly need to cut some more players and sign cheap players in FA. Fortunately there are some very good and very cheap players in this next FA.
what MM was saying on knbr this morning is whatever team trades picks for garrett will probably have to redo his deal right away, and make him the highest paid non qb essentially.
Redo his deal, or extend him?
There's a difference between ripping his contract
up and straight up giving him a 5-year $180M deal starting now, or just keeping his current contract (low cap hit in 2025-2026) and giving him, say, a two-year $72M extension that begins in 2027 (with some of it guaranteed of course).
Both technically make him the "highest paid" non-QB but one is much more manageable than the other.
good question. i am not 100% on the details. he just said it would be unlikely he just plays on the current deal. his expectation is there would be a new deal or extension with major money involved beyond the deal he has now. that makes sense to me. kind of like with russ or watson you trade these guys in and you are pot committed so you give them the banana bucks. now given his age, his desire for a winning team, his likely contract demands, maybe the trade comp isn't gonna be as great for cleveland as it probably should be.
The trade request is pretty much saying he would rather have a shot at a SB, not a shot at more money
