Louis Riddick

where this was when he said going into the off season, he was gonna have a talk with Stefanski and the group there and kind of like try to figure out like where the organization was headed.

And you could just tell like Miles was, he had done everything he could do individually.

And he was just looking for team success.

But Cleveland was steadfast in that they weren't going to trade him because he's one of the best players in the league.

And Jim Schwartz and Miles, they obviously have been super productive.

Well, Schwartz is gone.

Miles is gone.

Cleveland has a bunch of draft picks again, and they're selling hope again.

That's the cycle they're in.

I'll give you Aaron Donald in his prime, Miles Garrett in his prime.

Ooh-wee.

Man.

You know what?

You know I'm gonna go with Aaron, but I'm gonna go with Aaron for this reason.

You remember Jerry Gray, old Texas defensive back and played for the Rams, and he's a good friend of mine, coached in Washington when I was there.

He said, look, if you give me the choice between a guy who can create unique transcendent pressure on the interior or a guy who can do it on the exterior, I'm taking the guy on the interior because that's the shorter distance that he has to go to get to the quarterback and really disrupt things.

So I'm going with Aaron.

I think the Browns did pretty well getting Jared Verse.

I know that they weren't going to make this move unless they got Verse.

He's on his rookie deal, and he's an emerging player.
