It's an already impossible contract to move, even with his superlative production. They probably gave him here the options. They never deviated from the fact that they never wanted to trade him, and they decided to make the problem go away by giving it the biggest contract ever. for someone that's not a quarterback.

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...

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.

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.
