Myles Garrett voted PFWA 2025 Defensive Player of the Year

The new stadium is not really on my radar, as someone living outside of OH, or the US for that matter, so hadn't considered that. Hope you are right, which would mean at least some strategy is in place. As opposed to Jimmah going 'attaboy' and 'keep doing what you are doing' to Berry & Co, which haunts me in my nightmares. 

And when I say they are building for Brookpark, I mean they are trying to build/rebuild the team so they are entering a playoff window at the end of the current stadium so they enter Brookpark as a legit contender. That's why I can't see them taking Simpson this season when next year's draft looks like a possible QB bonanza, including Jimmy's wet dream of Manning. In their hopes and dreams, they draft a QB high in '27, he's established as a playoff-caliber guy in '28, they start rolling in Brookpark in '29. 

One problem with trading Myles is he can veto any trades, so he'd have to go to a legit contender. All the sudden the three hypothetical first round picks don't look as amazing when they are all in the 20s.

I'm on record that this team is being built for Brookpark, which opens in four seasons.

I have been an advocate of a Browns rebuild, and opposed to what looks like the current maintaining of the status quo. Myles is the greatest asset we have. Keeping him while getting ever closer to his inevitable decline locks the Browns deeper into that status quo.

The offer to let him go would need to be otherworldly, and it is uncertain we would get that. But if otherworldly is on the table, I would jump at the chance.

You have to wonder how much gas would be in Myles' tank at that point.

If someone offered Berry a Godfather offer, he'd be an idiot not to listen.

Some team may believe they are a MG away from a SB title and willing to fork over a ransom to bring him in.

Thank you for clearing that up Todd and Andrew.  "Myles is a career Brown"    He walks directly from his Browns home field to Canton, next to Joe Thomas.  You just can't trade away the best player you'll ever have at a position.  It's a betrayal to the player who worked so hard to be the best (whether the player would like a trade to get a ring or not).  And it's a betrayal to the fans.  He's all we've got.  He's what we can hang our hats on.  

If a fan of another team wants to wear a Myles Garrett jersey, it's going to have to be in brown, white or orange.  

No doubt about it. He's the gotta-see here.  This was a 5-12 team where we saw our guys on Defense still having fun teaming up together, exchanging high 5s and being a part of Myles' big season.  It's nice to see talented rookies like DT Mason Graham and LB Cason Schwesinger excited they're here to be part of what Myles is accomplishing and what this defense is on the verge of becoming...

They let overrated Zumba instructors wear the gold shield on their uniforms?

...and he thought OLinemen were just fat-asses and any ol' fat-ass would do.  We've demonstrated how that's not true.

Who knows, Myles might get some rookie help on the other side...depending on how the first five picks of the draft go....

T.J. Watt must be beside himself in rage.

Check out Myles Garrett in O-town giving me an excuse to cock walk for my undefeated Miami Redhawks bball team. Easily the most exciting season since the Szczerbiak years. I wish l liked basketball more…

Redhawks are 30-0. Miami’s last game is this Friday against the OU Bobcats. Will Myles be there? 

Athens is admittedly a prettier campus than Oxford. 

Don't they know TJ Watt is still playing?

You think every Texas A&M player is a must-get for the Browns! ?

Almost as many per BB member who thinks Ohio State players are also must-gets. But I'm a close second to each. ??

I don't know about that, but notch another up for me for identifying this guy really early as a "must get" for the Browns. Like either after his freshman or sophomore year at Texas A&M. That should get me permanently off the hook on my hopes for JFF. But in this case I knew Myles's brother had messed up a pro sports career due to drugs and it made Myles a complete teatotaler. Never done a drug or had a drink.

I pull no weight around here so this is worth what you're paying for it, but you get the good to go from me!

He’s gonna need a bigger mantle.

Be careful, there's 1 or 2 guys in here that worry about TJ Watts' feelings every time this happens.
