The Green Bay Packers could become surprise contenders in a blockbuster trade for Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett.
With the November 5th NFL trade deadline approaching, the Browns are in a tough spot, sitting at 1-6 and headed toward a top-five draft pick and potentially a major rebuild.
They’ve already traded star wide receiver Amari Cooper, and more moves could be on the horizon.
Myles Garrett is a name frequently mentioned as a possible trade asset.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer suggested that a Garrett trade might be worth considering, though he noted it would take a “Godfather” offer for the Browns to part with their star.
If the Browns are indeed open to listening to offers for Garrett, would they find a team willing to meet that “Godfather” price?
One team to watch closely as a potential suitor is the Green Bay Packers.
At 5-2, the Packers look like a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Boosting their pass rush could enhance their championship prospects.
Currently, the Packers rely on Rashan Gary and Preston Smith as their top pass-rushers, with promising young talent Lukas Van Ness showing flashes. But if an opportunity to land Garrett arose, Green Bay might be tempted.
What kind of offer could the Packers put together? They have the assets to potentially make it happen.
A package of Gary, a 2025 first-round pick, a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2026 third-round pick might push Cleveland to consider. Two first-round picks, a 26-year-old impact player in Gary, and a third-round pick could be tough to turn down.
This would be the exact type of “Godfather” offer Breer described.
Few teams across the league could match an offer of this magnitude, and Green Bay’s open championship window could justify a win-now move. The Packers also have the flexibility to absorb Garrett’s contract.
While it’s unlikely the Browns would trade Garrett — he’s the face of their franchise and holds a special place in the city — a strong offer from Green Bay might make them reconsider.
Landing Garrett is a long shot, but the Packers’ potential offer could make them serious contenders if a trade does become feasible.
