What should Eagles offer Browns in Myles Garrett trade?

The Myles Garrett sweepstakes has arrived and the Eagles are reportedly very much in it.

But going after Garrett and actually landing him are two entirely different things. It’s one thing to enter a biding war. It’s another to come out the victor. And although I did let myself get excited by the idea of Garrett and Jalen Carter rushing the quarterback together for years to come on Friday’s show, my stance on going all in for Garrett hasn’t changed.

So what’s the most the Eagles should be comfortable and willing to give up in a blockbuster trade?

My offer: 2025 first-round pick (No. 32 overall), 2027 conditional pick, and Tanner McKee.

The condition on the 2027 pick: It can range from a first to third rounder based on Garrett’s play in each of the next two years. If Garrett is a first or second team All-Pro in both 2025 and 2026, the pick becomes a first rounder. If Garrett is a first or second team All-Pro in one of the two years, it stays a second rounder. If Garrett fails to make an All-Pro team in either 2025 or 2026, the pick conveys as a third rounder.

The conditions are designed to protect the Eagles from Garrett declining quickly as he enters his ninth and 10th seasons in the NFL, something that’s happened to many great edge rushers. The Eagles are paying for the best edge rusher in the sport. As long as Garrett holds that title (or close to it), Cleveland gets that kind of full payment.

If that deal wins the bidding over whatever the Commanders, Lions and other contenders offer, great. Garrett arrives here to try to help win more titles and become a dynasty. If not, the Eagles would be wise to walk away with their (bright) future still intact.

Run it back or go star hunting? We debated on Friday’s WIP Midday Show.

I talked about Jesus Luzardo on WIP Daily before he looked like his 2023 self in his Phillies spring training debut.
