According to the Athletic they are still working on the total number of draft picks and Cleveland gets a younger player that had 12 sacks only making $4 million a year, compared to $27 million for Garrett.
Verse has 12 sacks in two years total, not just last year. Yes he's cheap for two years, but he's going to needing a new contract soon and his rookie contract 5th year option won't be cheap since he's made two pro bowls (it'll be franchise tag value).
I must have misread what it said, you are correct he had 7.5 sacks last year. Verse is only 25, so you are getting a player four years younger and saving $23 million next year, plus the draft picks. Is Garrett going to make the Browns into a playoff team, most likely not, then why keep him around and pay him the money he is due?
The Super Bowl is in their stadium this year, they understand Stafford is getting up there in age, and this might be the best chance to win another title before they make a change at QB. Getting McDuffie and now Garrett has to make them the favorite to win the title going into the season.
The last time the Rams played in it. SoFi will probably be in semi-permanent rotation with other cities that have warmer weather in February.
I'd say they are the worst run NFL franchise, but that is selling the Jets short.
If Cleveland hires Kwesi to handle those upcoming picks, the Browns fans will burn the city to the ground.
