Dang, that really sucks for Myles. His tax rate just went up by 10%, so he just took a 10% cut in salary for that trade. After taxes, his $40 million salary just went from ~$24 million to ~$20 million. And that's before you factor in the cost of living increases.

Trading the beaches of Cuyahoga County for the beaches of Malibu…poor *******

so is Myles Garrett the greatest NFL player ever traded? (based on how good they were when traded)

eric dickerson is in the conversation, but I think Garrett wins this.

Greatest at the time of their trade or just greatest overall player who got traded?

If greatest at the time of their trade, then I would think so since he just set the sack record and is the reigning DPOY. Randy Moss getting traded for a back of dirt then going on to have 3700 yards and 47 TD's over the next 3 seasons to cap off a 1st ballot career was a pretty big one too.

those lists are a different question. Hershel was the "biggest" trade, but Hershel 1989 is nothing compared to Garrett 2026.

Aggie Garrett makes a deal with Longhorn Ford for #95. No details yet.

The money is still likely viewed as a rounding error to him, even if it's not... I bet he's very happy about the trade.

way to go out on a limb.

Some guy said "that sucks for Myles" bc of taxes. I was putting it in perspective. But whatever.

All of those trades save for the Garrett trade also have the benefit of hindsight. When the Cowboys took the Walker trade and converted it into 3 Super Bowl wins in 4 years, its tough to argue it isn't the biggest trade ever. Let's see what the Rams do with it.

Saw a blurb last night that Aaron Donald is teasing a comeback thanks to this trade.

Dead weight in Cleveland.

i don't disagree with you.

but what I am talking about doesn't require hindsight. we are talking about when the trade is made.

there has never been an NFL player of Garrett's caliber traded. closest two are dickerson and moss.

So happy /life long ram fan

Browns should move out of that sheethole of CLE.

What city do you suggest is in need of an NFL team?

Bummer for Jared Verse. Cleveland is a midwest ****hole.

Myles to go before he sleeps

My roommate at A&M came from Cleveland. He told me that people in interviews would ask him "... so where are you from?". He'd say Cleveland. Reply would be "Oh, I'm sorry!".

Myles seems to be more concerned with uncongested highways. But at least LaBrea is 10 miles down the road from SoFi. That's only a 50 minute drive in his Ferrari.

Wow am happy

Browns fans "Winter is coming."

Everyone else "Who's gonna tell them?"

I think there's a strong argument that Myles has had the best pro career of any Aggie . Glad to see him go to a contender but sure would have preferred a team I somewhat like.

Mike Evans on line 1...
Von Miller on line 2...

Myles is definitely in the conversation

love Mike Evan's and he's on his way to canton, but he's behind both Miller and Garrett

But he is taking a sizable pay cut after taxes are paid to live there.

I pay CA taxes and I've paid Texas taxes. When it's all said and done they're pretty close.

You obviously don't make millions of dollars a year, because it wouldn't be close at all.

The largest metropolitan area without an NFL team is San Antonio. The third largest is Austin. An NFL team between the two cities, drawing from both would be a major player. Texas is getting so big it is inevitable a third NFL team comes here. I am a Cowboy fan, so don't want that, but recognize it will happen. California has three and Florida has three and NY has three (if counting the Jets, Bills and Giants even if two have stadiums to play in NJ), soon Texas will also get to three.

It will literally be over Jerry Jones' dead body that San Antonio or Austin get an NFL team

I thought this was going to be a poem when I saw the form of the text, but I couldn't think of anything that rhymed with Canton.
