And Miles Garrett, I know you'd like to do some role play here, saw the situation, laid out the entire lay of the land, knew that he had the weird, he was in the weird position of being a franchise player in the prime of his career, and yet the fans still understood his trade request and he still decided to stay.
He wanted money. He caved. So, like, if you're Miles Garrett, what you would have done is... You would have signed the contract because that's what Miles Garrett did end up doing, which is he signed, OK, give me the big money bomb. I'll take that. That's fine enough. Everybody understands where he was coming from. It wasn't easy to move. It wasn't fair value for them to move him.
Not many teams could even take the backloaded contract. So ultimately, like it was posturing. Miles Garrett, yeah, he was calling into question something that everybody agreed with. Someone saying that who has played those years for that franchise, everybody understands that they've botched his career and that they're not doing enough winning. But that's a move in a negotiation.
And Miles Garrett got what he wanted.
Yeah, and then the agent says, okay, he's not happy. You want him happy? This is the number.
What am I missing? He used all the power, and he got the greatest deal ever.
You want him to just go to another team that doesn't have the cap room?
We've seen it before, Le'Veon Bell before, and it didn't really work out for him. We've seen it. That's not what Miles Garrett's motivations were. If you want to craft a scenario... I do want to craft that scenario in football.
Well, just name him like a Joey football player. Because it's just not a real thing. He used all the leverage at his disposal.
If he were a different guy and he actually valued winning over money, then yeah.
I'm not crazy about how everyone just took that as fact. He likes Cleveland. He's a part of the community.
Is this Joey football player again? He's happy there because he's rich. But if he had his choice, he'd be like, he's not like, oh, this is where I'd be. Even after retirement. You guys have no way of knowing that.
Billy, you think he stays there in retirement?
This is so dystopian. This is one of the good stories. Yeah. It's a good story. A guy that has earned for that franchise the biggest contract they can hand out in the history of sports to a non-quarterback. And he earned it. Everyone's happy. They get to keep their legend. He decided, you know what, I know I said a lot of hurtful things, but I got this contract and we're here, Cleveland.
You're going to still see my smiling face. And we know we have all sorts of uncertainty around the quarterback position, but you're going to see my smiling face over there potentially throwing helmets at other people's heads.
And it's all going to get fixed when they draft Cam Hoard.
But he's not like, he's not amazing. He's fast. He's big. JSN emerged. He's like Dan. I don't need him anymore. No?
Big, fast, and strong?
National legend.
He was likable for a couple of years. It's that we forget. He got himself into the media and he was there for long enough. And look, there's people online trying to convince me that like Paul George was better than Dwayne Wade at their peaks. Like everyone forgets everything because of what's happening right now. So Reddit goes and does a podcast for a couple of years.
