Our final trade package for Garrett is the only one that actually includes a player, and this could be the most realistic one, as the Browns might not want to get solely draft picks, as, while picks are nice, there is no guaranteed production attached to them.
In our final package, the Seattle Seahawks come knocking and trade a first, third, and Byron Murphy II to the Browns to acquire Garrett, making the league's best defensive line even better. From the Browns' perspective, this could be a worthwhile offer, as Murphy just finished up his second season in the NFL and would fit right in with the Browns' likely plans to rebuild this thing.
Murphy, while an elite player, is not in the same tier that Garrett is in, so we had to sweeten the deal with a first and a third-round pick in this year's NFL Draft. The Seahawks won the Super Bowl, so they are obviously picking at the bottom of each round.
This does devalue the picks a bit, so Berry might want to squeeze a bit more out of Seattle. On one hand, the Seahawks defense would get better, and it'd be hard to stop a defensive line that features Leonard Williams and Garrett.
However, would the Seahawks really breakup something that just won it all? This could be the main reason why a trade to Seattle wouldn't happen. Seahawks' General Manager John Schneider is clearly a very calculated individual, and with likely extensions coming for Devon Witherspoon and Sam Darnold, perhaps, he simply might not be focused on trying to make this thing happen.
And broadly, the Browns also might not have any interest in trading, arguably, the greatest player in franchise history, but once again, most players do have a price, so the Browns would be wise to at least pick up the phone from time to time.
