NFL Trade Buzz: Garrett, Kupp & Stafford on the Move! Plus, Brady’s True Value
1️⃣ Myles Garrett has requested a trade, prioritizing a Super Bowl over staying in Cleveland, signaling a potential major shake-up for the Browns.
2️⃣ Buffalo, Chicago, and Washington could offer multiple first-round picks, key players, and pick swaps to land the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
3️⃣ Cleveland’s roster is aging, they haven’t had a first-round pick in three years, and their salary cap is tight. Trading Garrett could help rebuild the team.
4️⃣ The Rams are open to trading Cooper Kupp. At 31, his high salary and declining stats make teams like the Cowboys and Jaguars possible landing spots.
5️⃣ Kupp wanted to finish his career in L.A., but the Rams have other plans. He caught just six passes in two playoff games and has a massive $29.7M cap hit.
6️⃣ The Commanders, Jaguars, and Cowboys could pursue Kupp, but his trade value has dropped to a mid-to-late-round pick due to recent performance concerns.
7️⃣ The Rams haven’t confirmed Matthew Stafford’s return for 2025. With only $4M guaranteed in his contract, his future in L.A. remains uncertain.
8️⃣ At 36, Stafford is past his prime, but QB-needy teams like the Steelers could still see him as a valuable veteran option if the Rams move on.
9️⃣ Trading Garrett would add $36M in dead money to Cleveland’s cap, which is already $30M over the limit. A trade could give them much-needed draft picks.
🔟 Garrett, Kupp, and Stafford could all be on the move, reshaping the NFL. Teams must consider cap space, performance, and draft capital before making deals.
