NFL Trade Rumors: Eagles willing to “make a big swing” for Myles Garrett
Myles Garrett to the Philadelphia Eagles trade rumors certainly aren’t dying down as NFL free agency approaches.
Earlier this week, ESPN had a report on the Eagles’ interest in Garrett. Now it’s The Athletic’s Diana Russini who’s saying that Howie Roseman could “make a big swing” for the Cleveland Browns’ star pass rusher.
Here’s an interesting exchange between Russini and Chase Daniel on Friday’s Scoop City podcast:Interesting to hear that Baun has a robust market and that the Eagles could get outpriced for him. It was previously reported that the Eagles have made signing Baun ahead of free agency their priority. I’d be pretty surprised if the Eagles let Baun walk out the door.It’s no surprise to see the Eagles interested in Garrett. And not only because they have a need at edge rusher. But because he’s an incredibly dominant force that the Eagles have seen up close in joint training camp practices over some of the past few summers. They saw him single-handedly ruin their ability to even get anything going on offense in practice one day. Garrett is the kind of player you move heaven and earth to acquire. Players of his caliber are rarely available.The Browns continue to say they won’t trade Garrett. The feeling here is that they’ll
have to budge at some point.Based on historical precedent, expecting the trade to cost less than two first-round picks is not crazy. Of course, Garrett is so good that this might be an exception. And the Eagles’ first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is obviously one spot away from a second-round selection since Philly won Super Bowl LIX.
The feeling here is that it’s more likely the Eagles do NOT acquire Garrett and they DO retain Baun. But I’m never going to say never with Howie in the mix. I don’t doubt he’ll try hard to make it happen.
Travis Hunter Names 2 Browns Players That He Wants To Workout With
Travis Hunter, the exceptional two-way star preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft, recently revealed some interesting connections at the NFL Scouting Combine.
When he was asked which NFL players he’d love to train with, two of his picks should have Browns fans grinning.
“Either Jerry Jeudy, because he’s from Florida and I’m from Florida and I always grew up watching him. Pat Surtain, I love how he works. I love his work ethic, his technique is always good. Denzel Ward. These are some of the people that I hit up when I was little, trying to get workouts in with ’em,” Hunter said, via B/R Gridiron.
This connection feels particularly noteworthy considering Cleveland holds the No. 2 overall pick in the draft.
Adding fuel to the fire, Browns general manager Andrew Berry made his position clear, stating that the organization views Hunter primarily as a wide receiver.
This aligns perfectly with Cleveland’s needs and could create an exciting scenario where Hunter joins forces with Jeudy, one of his childhood idols.
