The NBA saw a shocking trade over the weekend with Luka Dončić heading to the Los Angeles Lakers. Could the NFL be the next league to feature a superstar swap?

Myles Garrett has let it be known he wants to play elsewhere next season — and preferably for a contender. The Cleveland Browns said recently they’re not inclined to move their All-Pro pass rusher, but will they hold firm on that stance? If they don’t, Garrett’s availability will spawn a feeding frenzy for his services. The reality is that 31 other teams would love to have the 29-year-old game wrecker on their roster, prompting me to take an early stab at identifying which ones make the most sense in a potential deal.

The trade return for one of the game’s best defensive players would be considerable, and any team dealing for Garrett also must be able to afford him. (He has two seasons left on his five-year, $125 million contract, but such a trade could also induce a mega extension.) That slims down the list a bit. You won’t find the Dallas Cowboys below, even if Garrett is a Texas native and the idea of pairing him with Micah Parsons is the stuff football dreams are made of. And despite the fact that they certainly could use this caliber of defensive upgrade, the Buffalo Bills aren’t included in my rundown, either, as salary-cap woes likely keep them out of the running for now. I also left every other AFC North team off the list. It’s hard to imagine that the Browns would trade Garrett within the division, given how many other teams could make quality offers.

Garrett’s trade request was well-timed, leading into Super Bowl LIX week. Radio row is surely to be abuzz with Garrett trade chatter. Sources will be sourcing all week.

Without further ado, here are nine practical landing spots for the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year.
