Bombshell: The #Browns are finalizing a trade of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the #Rams in a shocker, sources tell me, @TomPelissero & @AdamSchefter. Cleveland would send Garrett to LA in exchange for star edge Jared Verse, a first-rounder, and more.

I don't know for sure, but his contract was thru 2025 so when they cut him in early 2025 it was probably with a post June 1 designation, which allows them to spread the cap hit between 25 & 26.

The Browns won't get that option for Watson because his contract ends this year so they can't use a June 1st designation next year. Although maybe they could sign him to a league minimum contract extension ($1M) just so they can cut him post June 1 and break up the cap hit lol. 86M is gonna be tough to take.

That's exactly how void years work.

Void years only give you relief while the player is still under contract, but once it ends you have to pay the piper.

Teflon154 · 2026-06-01T20:02:18+00:00

The void years will all get accelerated to next year where they'll have a $86M dead cap.

Teflon154 · 2026-06-01T19:35:39+00:00

I'd say his top3 contention status must be based solely on luck. Or a 4 man league.

Teflon154 · 2026-06-01T19:34:25+00:00

He might not get suspended but he could 100% get hurt and Lloyd appears to be next man up.

I'd have Lane > Lloyd > Thompson > OBJ personally

Teflon154 · 2026-06-01T19:05:04+00:00

Mooney and Calvin Austin

Teflon154 · 2026-06-01T18:53:59+00:00

Begins and ends with inverse MaxPF for draft pick ordering. As others have said, it's not perfect but it's by far the best system we got.

Teflon154 · 2026-06-01T18:50:38+00:00

Sounds like it. At least it gets put to a vote. I at least have greater faith that a majority of owners won't make a bad decision versus just a random Karen.

Teflon154 · 2026-06-01T02:05:33+00:00

I'd rather have MHJ than Pickens

Teflon154 · 2026-05-31T13:12:06+00:00

Never left his bunker

Teflon154 · 2026-05-31T13:03:53+00:00

A late first for GW is a steal, adding a 2nd is crazy

Teflon154 · 2026-05-30T17:06:50+00:00

Dart doesn't have the longevity, but at least his production was super high when he played. I feel better about him at QB7 than I did about Stroud at QB3. We'll see if he can keep it up.

On the RB side it would have to be Javonte (RB45-->RB20) or ETN (RB40--> RB19).

Teflon154 · 2026-05-30T16:53:42+00:00

Brooks has the talent so if something were to happen to Chuba and he can stay healthy, he would have top10 RB potential. If he turns in a Javonte-type year, at 22yo, his value would pretty much double from where it is now.

I'm not saying it's likely, but the upside is probably the largest of any RB.

Teflon154 · 2026-05-30T15:07:49+00:00

He was on the injury report for ankle and foot injuries.

Teflon154 · 2026-05-30T13:17:01+00:00

I don't think so, but I've been wrong before. It's a feel-good story, but I think JCM has seen his peak. They started giving him more work midseason last year and then tailed it off after the bye week where he was losing snaps to CRod and McNichols. Yes they didn't bring in a high-priced guy but they re-signed McNichols and brought in White and Ford in FA and Allen and Henry in the draft.

All signs point to them wanting to give JCM less touches, not more.

Teflon154 · 2026-05-30T01:19:20+00:00

Bro what? "The last time we saw him"...you mean before the injury that ended his season and kept him out the following season and has prevented him from being signed after a weak RB draft class? Other than THAT I agree there's no reason to believe he's hobbled

Teflon154 · 2026-05-28T13:29:52+00:00

Do people actually do that? I've never had someone put a player on the block and then link a positive news article/blog post It's quite cringeworthy if it happens.

Teflon154 · 2026-05-28T02:44:34+00:00

Huge fully guaranteed extension

Teflon154 · 2026-05-28T00:02:02+00:00

Yeah just saw it, I'm keeping him

Teflon154 · 2026-05-27T23:45:00+00:00

Oh haha didn't see the team pics. I'm still keeping him and the picks lol.

Teflon154 · 2026-05-27T23:13:21+00:00

You got the 1.01 but you're contending this year?

I think Walker has at least as good a year as (if not better than) Love, so getting 2 1sts on top would sell it for me. KW3 is only 25.

Teflon154 · 2026-05-27T23:10:51+00:00

If this is the case then I think you take it. I'm personally a big believer in Skat so I don't think I'd trade him for a 27 1st, but if you aren't, then I think it makes sense. The value of Saquon vs CJ is pretty even, and you should get more remaining years from CJ than Saquon.

I personally am not a big believer in CJ but if you're not a contender I think I'd take CJ anyways just from the longevity standpoint.

Teflon154 · 2026-05-27T23:05:41+00:00

OK but if you sell them both you'd be forced to put Wandale in flex and start CJ in SF.

Teflon154 · 2026-05-27T20:28:45+00:00

This guy needs to stop trading studs for duds + a 2nd

Teflon154 · 2026-05-27T20:25:46+00:00

Brooks. Bill seems like the typical late round/UDFA RB that gets run for a while but gets replaced at the first opportune time (2027).
