I mean, that's just where you can measure this if you're a member of the Browns front office and go, we arguably got the best year you could ever have from Miles Garrett.
As great as he's been throughout his career.
I mean, he's been on some awful Browns teams and he still produces 23 sacks.
defensive player of the year for the second time in his career second time in three years and you won five games so that tells you all you need to know the likelihood of him doing that again i would say slim right just it's hard to get 23 sacks in a season let's be honest here he can still be fantastic getting 15 sacks this year but you make that gamble as a bad football team yeah
And let's say Miles Garrett does have 23 sacks.
It helps the Rams a hell of a lot more than it ever could the Cleveland Browns.
Yeah, because it just happened, and it didn't really amount to anything.
By the way, I checked this offensively and defensively.
Defensive Player of the Year was first given out in 1971.
Alan Page of the Vikings won it.
The first one in the AFC, or the Offensive Player of the Year, for some reason, wasn't until 72.
And in those years, more than 100 years of awards combined, he's the only winner of that award to be traded in the offseason following the year in which he won it.
eric dickerson was traded during the season after which he won offensive player of the year in 86 but garrett is the the first player the first ap ap defensive or offensive player of the year to be traded in the offseason after winning the award he's the fifth player fifth defensive player of the year to be traded by the team for which he won but the first time it's ever happened in the offseason where a guy who just won player of the year uh was dealt selfishly
I love this deal for the NFL, like as a fan of football.
Because seeing Miles Garrett, as good as he is, just waste away in Cleveland for years.
It's good news for Chiefs fans that you wouldn't have to worry about him.
I know the Rams and Chiefs play in L.A.
this year.
I like that he went to the NFC.
Or Buffalo or something like that.
