While the Cleveland Browns might not be a serious playoff contender, that doesn't mean they should trade away all of their good players.

But, as seen with their Myles Garrett trade with the Los Angeles Rams, the Browns are clearly not afraid of making the blockbuster move to improve the future of the team, even if the fanbase isn't the biggest fan of the move.

It's not just the fans who reacted with disbelief to this trade. Browns defensive end Alex Wright, who would benefit from lining up opposite of Garrett on Sunday's had a hilarious and fan-like reaction to the trade according to Andrew Siciliano.

This is the kind of trade that makes everyone stop what they're doing to digest it. Trading Garrett is such a massive move that even the players on the team are reacting like the fans at home.
