What Would an Eagles Trade for Myles Garrett Look Like?

Myles Garrett publicly requested a trade out of Cleveland last week, and it was one of the top stories on Media Row in New Orleans ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

Garrett appeared on Media Row and discussed the possibility of being traded, and even said Philadelphia would be a "hell of a destination," during a discussion with Zach Gelb of Infinity Sports Network on Media Row in New Orleans.

The Eagles could be in the market for a pass rusher with Josh Sweat set to be a free agent this offseason.  Veteran Brandon Graham could also retire, meaning the Eagles could have a need for someone to rush the passer in 2025.

But just how likely is a Garrett-Eagles marriage?

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell didn’t completely rule out Philadelphia as a potential landing spot.  In fact, Barnwell, thinks the Eagles are one of four teams that Garrett helps put over the top in 2025.

They're spending a ton of money on offense, but this is one of the youngest defenses in the league, and they've got basically all of their defensive line and the guys who will be their top two cornerbacks on rookie deals for the next couple of seasons. Taking a big swing on Garrett as opposed to bringing back Sweat and Zack Baun would be risky, but Roseman is empowered to take those sorts of shots, and players such as Garrett simply don't come available often. And from Garrett's perspective, what better team to join if he wants to play in a Super Bowl than the team that just won one?

It’s no shock the Eagles might need to consider adding some additional pass-rushing help with the potential loss of Sweat, Graham, and Milton Williams, who is also a free agent.

What would a Myles Garrett trade look like?

According to Branwell, it would start with a first-round pick and some more draft capital.

It seems like a first-round pick would be the bare minimum for Garrett. Two first-rounders might be a big ask for a player approaching 30, even one as talented as Garrett, but it all depends on who is sending those picks and where they land. If a team's offering a top-10 pick in the 2025 draft, it might not need to offer much else. If it's the Eagles sending the No. 32 pick, there would need to be something more substantial as a second asset going Cleveland's way, especially given that their future picks in 2026 and 2027 are also likely to fall toward the bottom of rounds.

One trade the Eagles could look at that is similar to Garrett is when the New England Patriots sent All-Pro Richard Seymour to the Raiders in exchange for a first-round pick.
