After trading for an often-injured Dee Ford in 2019, attempting edge rusher by <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">committee<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> in 2021 and 2022, and acquiring Bosa\u2019s college teammate Chase Young in 2023, San Francisco now has their best chance to have two legitimate defensive <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">player<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> of the year candidates prowling for quarterbacks on the defensive line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On Monday, <\/span>Cleveland Browns\u2019 <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> star <\/span>Myles Garrett officially requested a trade <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, indicating his desire to contend for a Super Bowl. The news sent NFL media and fanbases into a frenzy, leading to speculation as to whether the 49ers should involve themselves in trade discussions with Cleveland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The answer is yes. General Manager John Lynch should pick up the phone right now. The 49ers always do their due diligence on potential trades, but this is different. There is no time for due diligence. It is time for action. Yet, trading for Garrett will cost a pretty penny \u2014 a topic <\/span>The Athletic\u2019s Dianna Russini <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> shed more light on.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Myles Garrett\u2019s Trade Market<\/h2>\n<p>Garrett, 29, is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. Coming off his seventh consecutive double-digit sack season, Garrett is instantly the top name on the trade market. He is a six-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, won the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year award, and was even an MVP finalist that same season. In just eight seasons, Garrett has accumulated 102.5 sacks, good for eighth on the NFL active sack leader list.<\/p>\n<p>His long list of accolades would be expected to accompany a large trade package. However, one NFL general manager does not believe it will take multiple first-round picks to acquire Garrett, according to Russini.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the GM says it should only take one first-round draft pick and something more. Whether it be a first and second-round pick, a first and two-third-round picks, or a first-round pick and a player, Garrett\u2019s market may not be as high as initially thought.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">One NFL GM on what a trade for Myles Garrett could look like:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProbably a 1+. Can\u2019t wait for the<br \/>\n\u201cIt will be 3 1s\u201d crowd. Not happening.<\/p>\n<p>1 and a 2. 1 and 2 3s. Throw a player in there.\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/xGRlikiwr2<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dianna Russini (@DMRussini) February 3, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js<\/p>\n<p>If that is the case, the 49ers should be the first team to make an offer for Myles Garrett. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh is back and the expectation is the team will draft a defensive lineman in the first round of the NFL Draft anyway, so why not trade the 11th overall pick and something more for Garrett?<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco also has two third-round picks and could even offer a player like Deebo Samuel or Leonard Floyd to sweeten any deal. However, salary cap implications could half any deal from the Cleveland Browns\u2019 perspective.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>49ers Can Afford Garrett, Cleveland Can\u2019t<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To be clear, the San Francisco 49ers can afford to take on Myles Garrett\u2019s full contract. He is currently under contract for two more years, worth $50 million. Any team acquiring Garrett will be on the hook for $19.8 million in 2025 and $25 million in 2026, but none of which contain guaranteed money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Similar to <\/span>Maxx Crosby\u2019s contract <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, San Francisco could acquire Garrett and then immediately extend him to erase part of the four void years in his deal and lower his remaining cap hits. While complicated, the 49ers have been doing it all their star player contracts for years. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Not to mention,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the 49ers can extend Fred Warner and George Kittle, adding more cap space to their current $48 million <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">total,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> per <\/span>Over the Cap.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Where things get even more complicated is the Cleveland Browns\u2019 financial responsibility. Due to multiple restructures, trading Garrett will cost the Browns $36.2 million in dead cap. Doing so would drain <\/span>Cleveland\u2019s $30.1 million cap space. <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Like San Francisco, they could restructure multiple player\u2019s contracts or hope somehow they can void Deshaun Watson\u2019s $127 million dead cap hit in 2025. Nonetheless, trading Garrett would not be <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">smart<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> for the Browns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, if Garrett refuses to play, he could force their hand, opening up a direct path for the 49ers to make an offer. San Francisco did something similar in 2018 when they tried to trade for Khalil Mack. While unsuccessful, the 49ers have been aggressive on the trade market, especially <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">when it comes to<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> pass rushers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If anybody would garner another all-in trade offer by the San Francisco 49ers, it should be Myles Garrett.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Trade Proposal:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>49ers receive: Myles Garrett<\/li>\n<li>Browns receive: 11th overall pick, 2023 third-round pick, Leonard Floyd ( if not enough, maybe add in a 2026 fifth-round pick that can become a fourth-round pick)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sterling Bennett is a Heavy.com contributor covering the NFL.
