Philly fans, buckle up— the offseason speculation is heating up, and this one could be a game-changer. With the 2025 NFL trade deadline in the rearview mirror, all eyes are on what bold moves teams might make once the season wraps. And if Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay has his way, the Philadelphia Eagles could land the ultimate defensive prize: Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett. In a mock trade that’s got everyone buzzing, the Eagles would ship out three first-round picks (2026, 2027, and 2029) to bring the All-Pro pass rusher to the City of Brotherly Love. It’s the kind of blockbuster that could solidify the Eagles’ dynasty dreams and send shockwaves through the NFC.
Imagine Garrett in midnight green, terrorizing quarterbacks alongside the Eagles’ already formidable front. Fan concepts are already circulating, painting a picture of what this could look like:
According to Kay’s proposal: “Eagles receive: Edge Myles Garrett. Browns receive: 2026 1st-Round Pick, 2027 1st-Round Pick, 2029 1st-Round Pick.” This isn’t just pie-in-the-sky dreaming—it’s rooted in real rumors. Yahoo Sports’ Charles Robinson reported that the Eagles were willing to offer up to three first-rounders for Garrett ahead of the deadline. While Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot pushed back on the strength of that offer, the interest was clearly there. Eagles GM Howie Roseman, known for his aggressive style, even hinted post-deadline that the team won’t “sit on our hands” when elite talent is available.
Why now? The Browns are mired in a dismal season, and Garrett—despite his individual brilliance—finds himself on a sinking ship. Trading him could kickstart a rebuild for Cleveland, especially with those high-value picks spread out over years.
Garrett’s Dominance: A Sack Machine Ready to Elevate Philly
Myles Garrett isn’t just good; he’s generational. This season alone, the 29-year-old has racked up an eye-popping 15.0 sacks in just 10 games, leading the league and proving why he’s a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate. His ability to disrupt offenses is unmatched, with quarterbacks crumbling under his pressure.
For the Eagles, adding Garrett would address a key area of need. While they acquired Jaelan Phillips at the deadline—who’s been a revelation with his speed and versatility—Phillips is set to hit free agency after the season. Re-signing him should be a priority, but pairing him (or replacing him if needed) with Garrett could create the NFL’s most fearsome edge duo. The Eagles’ defense has been solid but not dominant in their title defense, allowing 20.1 points per game. Garrett’s arrival could drop that number significantly, making life easier for stars like Jalen Hurts on the other side of the ball.
Eagles’ Strong Position and Browns’ Struggles
The Eagles are sitting pretty atop the NFC with an impressive record, but they’re not invincible. Their shaky start to the title defense has fans hungry for more firepower to secure back-to-back rings—and maybe even a three-peat.

Contrast that with the Browns, who are spiraling toward the bottom of the standings. At 2-8, they’re one of the league’s worst teams, scoring just 16.2 points per game while allowing 23.4. Garrett deserves better than this rebuild limbo, and the Browns could use those picks to draft a franchise quarterback or bolster their offensive line.

Why This Trade is a Dream for Philly Fans
Let’s be real: Winning Super Bowl LIX was historic, but repeating is legendary. Garrett could be the missing piece to make it happen. Rumors about him swirled before the Super Bowl and ramped up at the deadline—expect them to explode in the offseason. The Browns’ downward trajectory makes a trade more plausible than ever, especially if Cleveland decides to pivot.
For Eagles fans, this isn’t just a trade; it’s a statement. Howie Roseman has built a contender through savvy deals, and landing Garrett would cement Philly as the NFC’s bully. Sure, giving up three firsts is steep, but for a player who changes games single-handedly? It’s worth it. The day has finally come where this mock trade feels less like fantasy and more like destiny. Keep an eye on the offseason—Philly might just make it happen. Fly Eagles Fly!
