Bills urged to trade for 5-time All-Pro defensive monster

The Buffalo Bills have, for the past handful of years, come up against an invisible roadblock in the playoffs, which led to the firing of Sean McDermott.

Now, it is first-time head coach Joe Brady tasked with doing what McDermott couldn't, and the franchise has been active in free agency to help. DJ Moore and Bradley Chubb were signed to give both sides of the ball some extra juice.

But with the Cleveland Browns' recent change-up of Myles Garrett's contract, the possibility is now open of the five-time All-Pro being traded. Yes, Cleveland said it won't trade him (of course, right?), but that hasn't stopped others from linking Myles to teams.

And CBS Sports' John Breech thinks Myles in Buffalo is a great idea.

"With Josh Allen at quarterback, the Bills are firmly in their Super Bowl window, but adding Myles Garrett could push them over the top," Breech wrote. "GM Brandon Beane hasn't been shy about making aggressive pass-rush moves, trading for Von Miller in 2022 and signing Joey Bosa last year. They've already added Bradley Chubb this offseason, and pairing him with Garrett would instantly elevate the defense from average to great."

Could Bills go after Garrett?

There is a bit to work through. 

First, the offer would need to be at least two first-round picks, plus other selections and/or a player. 

That is a steep price. 

Then, the Bills have $12 million in cap space, so some juggling would need to happen there, but with Garrett's contract language changed, teams could now be interested in a trade.

It would require a huge haul to get Garrett from Cleveland, but if Buffalo is serious about winning that Super Bowl, then getting Myles would signal the organization has had enough of recent failures.

This feels tough to pull off, but if Buffalo did, goodness me, it sets them up well for 2026 and beyond.
