The Cleveland Browns appeared to do very well for themselves in the Myles Garrett trade with the Los Angeles Rams.
They got back a young pass rusher, Jared Verse, and three draft picks.
The picks are a 2027 first-rounder, a 2028 second-rounder and a 2029 third-rounder.
There's a catch, though. The 2029 pick has a condition on it that can make it rise higher in that year's draft.
The condition? If Garrett gets traded by the Rams to an AFC North team, the Browns would then get the Rams' first-round pick in 2029, according to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot:

That's a very entertaining and specific condition. It also likely would stop the Rams from even considering a trade to send Garrett into the AFC North.
Odds are, things aren't going to go so poorly that a trade is the best path, anyway.
It makes more sense for the Rams to rely on Garrett through the remainder of his contract after making a blockbuster deal like this one.
If Garrett ever went on the block again, though, teams would definitely be interested. And it'd be odd rooting incentive for Cleveland, which would gain draft pick status if he came back to the division in which you'd imagine the Browns really wouldn't want to see him.
Not every trade condition gets reported from every deal, but hopefully some others start to get shared, and hopefully they're all as entertaining as this one.
