Shan and RJ went Below The Belt and discussed the Browns adjusting Myles Garrett’s contract, making it easier for the team to trade him. They debated what it would take for the Cowboys to acquire Garrett, compared it to the Crosby deal, analyzed his contract numbers, and questioned if Garrett is worth two 1st-round picks.

00:00This is dead season. That's why a lot of people are accusing ESPN and Dan Orlovsky of hyping up this
00:08Ty Simpson-Fernando quarterback debate.
00:12And I'm going to throw this kind of into that category, but Tolo's are sending it to us.
00:17And ESPN Cleveland's official account did put this out.
00:23Now, the Browns have adjusted Myles Garrett's contract to push his roster bonus back until August 30th, according to Field
00:32Yates.
00:33This move makes it easier for the Browns to trade Garrett if they wanted to.
00:39And people are sending this on over to us.
00:42Now, why else are they adjusting the contract?
00:46Why are we just hearing about this right now?
00:48Why would they just be doing this right now?
00:51Well, I don't know.
00:52But look, it makes sense.
00:55The Cleveland Browns should be trying to trade Myles Garrett, just like the Raiders should have tried to trade Max
01:02Crosby.
01:03You're not going anywhere.
01:04He's 30.
01:05Get rid of him.
01:07Rebuild your football team.
01:08So let's just have some fun with it, Ralph.
01:10What do you say?
01:11Let's do it.
01:11The Cleveland Browns, right now, are at pick 6-24.
01:20Would you give up two first-round picks?
01:23And what else would it take if you're the Cowboys?
01:26This decision versus what you were thinking about Max, lining it up with the Micah compensation.
01:32But right now, Cleveland just called you today and said, yo, we can work out extra details, but are 12
01:40-20 on the table for you to get him?
01:43Jerry?
01:44To get Myles?
01:45To get Myles.
01:46Um, no.
01:48Oh!
01:49No.
01:50Oh, no.
01:51Every Cowboy fan I've seen so far saying yes.
01:55Cool.
01:56You give up two first-round picks for a 30-year-old that's...
02:00That just set the sack record?
02:02Yeah.
02:03That is...
02:04What did that do for me last year?
02:06Like, that would be pain for him for something he's already done.
02:10Okay.
02:10Right?
02:11I mean, that's...
02:12Don't you think he'll lead the league in sacks next year?
02:14Maybe.
02:15Maybe.
02:16Maybe.
02:16I know he's 30 years old, and he's owed...
02:18Oh, God.
02:19Yeah, what do the numbers look like?
02:22So, again, I don't know how much this cap would carry over to the Cowboys.
02:26And he'll be 31 in December.
02:29But, I mean...
02:31So his cap numbers over the next one, two, three, four, five...
02:36Six years are...
02:38The first two years are manageable.
02:40It's $24 million and $28 million.
02:43And then it's $30 million.
02:45And it's $63 million in 2029 at age 34.
02:49And $58 million in 2030 at age 35.
02:53And then you got a $16 million cap hit on a void year in 2020-31.
03:00Yeah, again, I don't know how all these things change because he's traded, right?
03:04I don't know.
03:05But let's see.
03:07Well, the Cowboys have told us we've also moved on.
03:10And, you know, because of our other plans, it wouldn't even have been financially feasible now to get Max.
03:15So now you're talking about...
03:17They're not talking about it.
03:18But you have to apply that same thing when you're trading for miles.
03:22Yeah.
03:22Now, if they trade them, trade pre-June 1.
03:26Your cap numbers are the same for those years.
03:29Your dead caps are different.
03:30It's way less.
03:30It's 41, 25, 13, and 4.
03:33So you're not worried about that.
03:35I just...
03:36I'll let somebody else do that.
03:38I'm not giving up two first-round picks for a 31.
03:40Your guy's going to be 31 before the season's over.
03:42What about the window?
03:44Yeah, it's...
03:45Man, I don't know.
03:46Gwinnon Williams.
03:48Cool.
03:48Rashaun Gary.
03:49I get it.
03:50Miles Garrett.
03:50Rashaun Gary.
03:51And I draft...
03:52Don't drop that name.
03:54And I...
03:54Well, I can't draft my corner.
03:56I can't draft my corners in round one because I've given them to Cleveland.
04:00You've given them to Cleveland.
04:01So you still got no corners.
04:03You know, people for the 901, blank the future, win a ring right now.
04:07Yeah, you know, I'd love to win a ring.
04:09You know, Miles Garrett, you know, has won so many rings.
04:12He's up there in Cleveland.
04:14So many rings.
04:15Jacob, am I going to be wrong in saying that the fan techs would be all in on this?
04:20I mean, the 214 said I'd do it in a cocaine heartbeat.
04:23We know Jerry won't.
04:25Somebody said, yes, he's the best player in the league.
04:27Somebody said 20 and a 2 next year.
04:29I don't think that's going to get it done.
04:30No.
04:31It's pretty split, actually.
04:33You've got a lot of people that are saying yes, but it's going to cost too much.
04:36And a lot of people saying, no, Jerry won't let it happen.
04:40Chop!
04:41I think I'm with you.
04:43I think I would be against it because he's 30.
04:46He's too old.
04:47I'm going to give him two firsts for a 30-year-old.
04:49Now, what have I told you he's going to get 17 sacks for the next three years?
04:53In each year?
04:54In each year.
04:57He's a physical freak.
04:58He is a physical freak.
04:59He's a monster.
05:00He is.
05:00He is a physical freak.
05:02What have I told you that?
05:03For the next three years, you're getting 17 sacks a year.
05:09Fundamentally, I don't believe individual defensive players make enough impact on your win.
05:16If he came here, the Cowboys' win total moves by half a win.
05:21Maybe.
05:22Maybe.
05:24Baltimore's did not change.
05:26With Trey.
05:30I just don't do that.
05:31What would Bobby say?
05:33I think he would do it because he was in on Max, right?
05:36For two firsts.
05:37Was he in for the two firsts?
05:39I don't know if he was in for the two.
05:40He was definitely in for 12.
05:42He may have been in for the two firsts.
05:43Bob, if you're listening, which you were earlier, let us know.
05:47So, people are sending this back to us of restructure taking place, making it easier to trade.
05:56Kevin Walker just sent this from back in October.
05:59Not sure if it's still 100% accurate.
06:01The new team cap hits for Miles from Spotrack.
06:052025, 1.2.
06:072026, 8.1.
06:092027, 16.1 million dollars.
06:12Then he gets to 21, 58, 58, and 16.
06:16Garrett carries an effective guarantee of three years, 99 million through 2028.
06:21So, those are the numbers.
06:22Kevin, thank you, as always.
06:24We have too many highways.
06:27For the speeding?
06:28For the speeding.
06:29I mean, you couldn't even, you wouldn't even, I mean, first of all, there's too much traffic.
06:33Yeah.
06:33Yeah, he'd be miserable trying to get on the George Bush Turnpike and try to go 80 miles an hour.
06:37But what am I telling you?
06:38So, 17 sacks next three years, still no.
06:41I don't know.
06:42I don't, you know me, sacks.
06:45I mean, pressures to me are just as important because they lead to turnovers.
06:49You don't get any turnovers on sacks, right?
06:51That's the strip sack, obviously.
06:53Now, Derek Holland is listening, giving us some hope.
06:55Oh, God.
06:55He probably wants three ones.
06:57I asked him, what would you take?
06:59He said, you get miles.
07:00I'll be a Cowboys fan.
07:01We've been rebuilding for 40 years.
07:03I said, what would you accept?
07:04He said, two first, two second.
07:07Say, no.
07:07What would the accepted comp be compared to the Micah deal, the Crosby offer?
07:14I mean, I would trade.
07:17Like, this has to be.
07:19I'd be more willing, just because of the age, to give up more for Micah.
07:23Yeah.
07:25I agree.
07:25Micah got.
07:26Micah, 25 years old?
07:27Micah got more offered than Crosby.
07:31Yeah.
07:32The age plays.
07:32So, it would have to at least be the Micah deal.
07:35I would think it's the Micah deal.
07:36You know, two ones and a player.
07:39And you're Cleveland.
07:40Let's just say Cleveland did it.
07:41And you, I mean, you want to love a draft day?
07:45You want to love a weekend?
07:46You have 6, 12, 20, and 24.
07:506, 12.
07:51That's one of my sports dreams, to have a team, like, totally own a first round of a draft.
07:57I remember when I grew up rooting for the Redskins.
08:01They had, I think they had 2 and 3.
08:04And they got Chris Samuel and LeVar Arrington.
08:06And that made the draft coverage such an absolute dream and the buildup.
08:10But you'd have 6, 12, 20, and 24 if you were Cleveland.
08:14Man.
08:15How about that?
08:15That was it.
08:16I remember the 2000, the Jets had four first rounders in 2000.
08:20Did they?
08:21They had 12, 13, 18, and 27.
08:24And they took.
08:25They used them all?
08:26Yeah, they took Sean Ellis.
08:28Good player.
08:30Good player.
08:30John Abraham.
08:31Good player.
08:33Chad Pennington.
08:34Good player.
08:35And Anthony Becht.
08:36It's actually a pretty decent first round.
08:38Yeah.
08:39Hmm.
08:40So that's the last time.
08:42I mean, that changed your franchise.
08:44I mean, you get five years of team control of four players, that'll change your franchise
08:49on you.
08:49I don't know.
08:50Yeah.
08:50Look, I love Miles.
08:52Miles is an all-time game wrecker.
08:54Yeah.
08:54Two firsts for a 30-year-old.
08:56I mean, that's...
08:58What if you're a Philly?
09:00Would you do it if you're them?
09:01Because you feel like you're closer?
09:03You're definitely closer.
09:05That does seem like something that the Rams would do, or Philly would do.
09:13I think you're...
09:16You better win.
09:17I'm saying...
09:18You better win a title.
09:19I'm agreeing with you, no.
09:20I'm leaning towards no.
09:23Alec Medford sending over.
09:26If Garrett had his option picked up, this is from Over the Cap, who broke the news of
09:29the restructure.
09:31Man, there's too much numbers in this for me.
09:34You can read this, or Alec, if you can summarize it, you can come in here and do it.
09:39But this is too much.
09:39If you're better with numbers, Alec's going to come in.
09:41Yeah, his option picked up.
09:42There he is.
09:43We got Medford right here.
09:44Alec, go ahead and break this down as if you were Bobby or someone smart with math.
09:48So basically, guys, what would have happened if they picked up the option instead of deferring
09:53it, is the Browns would have been on the hook for about $70 million in a trade.
10:00So now, moving this option, and they restructured some of his cap hits as well, if they were to
10:06make a trade post-draft, they would only be responsible for about $15.3 million in dead
10:14money across two years.
10:17Now, if they were to have traded him with the pre-existing contract, the new team that's
10:24acquiring him would have only been responsible for $2 million this year and $3 million next
10:29year.
10:29Now, new acquiring team responsible for $31.5 million and $32.5 million in the next two
10:37seasons.
10:37So basically, it makes it to where they take almost no dead money in the next two years.
10:42The new team that would acquire him is going to take $30-plus million in the next two
10:47years.
10:48You know what?
10:48You should replace Hagelin.
10:50No, absolutely not.
10:51Just replace Hagelin.
10:52All he's good for is that calculator on there.
10:55Would you give up two ones if you were Dallas?
10:56Oh, absolutely.
10:57Oh!
10:58I'm doing it today and twice on Sunday.
11:00There you go.
11:00Why does Sunday always get the double time?
11:03Why do people do things twice on Sunday?
11:05I don't like to do anything on Sunday.
11:06NFL baby.
11:07Thank you, Matty.
11:08Alec, Medford, the rest of the team contributing to the percolation of the idea of Miles Garrett
11:15getting dealt after the Cleveland restructure.
11:1850-50 split?
11:19You would have to guarantee me three Super Bowls.
11:21Three?
11:22How about doing it for two?
11:23Not worth it.
11:25It's like the lotto.
11:26That I disagree with.
11:27I don't want your $20 million lotto.
11:30Half a billion or I don't want it.
