Browns Push Back Garrett's Bonuses, Fueling Trade Speculation

0:00On March 27, the Cleveland Browns recently adjusted Miles Garrett's contract by pushing back some option bonuses. This move makes the star pass rusher easier to trade and has sparked widespread speculation across the league. Teams like the Dallas Cowboys started wondering if they could land him after pursuing another edge rusher earlier this month. The change gives Cleveland maximum flexibility, especially since they already had the lowest possible cap hit for Garrett. Teams and media are buzzing with trade ideas pointing to the Browns' tough spot. They lack a solid quarterback, have question marks on the offensive line, and fired head coach Kevin Stofansky signaling a full rebuild. Top NFL insider Adam Schefter poured cold water on the rumors, saying the Browns are firm on keeping Garrett. No one's explaining the tweak if it's not about trade options, but officials aren't advertising any plans. While a deal could speed up Cleveland's rebuild with extra draft picks, the team will likely wait for the best offers before deciding.
