Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is expected to have another magic trick up his sleeve this offseason.
According to the Athletics' Dianna Russini, the Eagles' interest in Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett is "real."
“Garrett could be this year’s version of Saquon Barkley for Howie [Roseman],” one NFL general manager told Russini. “He’s an impact add and isn’t a free-agent overpay. Howie’s not afraid to try stuff, and it fits where they are as a team.”
The Eagles have roughly $22.3 million in available salary cap space this year, and Garrett will count for $19.7 million against the cap.
Russini mentions that in order to make room for Garrett, the Eagles will need to make some tough decisions by letting a few of their key free agents walk.
"How would the Eagles come up with room to fit Garrett? By letting some key members of their Super Bowl-winning group walk," Rusinni writes. "Linebacker Zack Baun was a free-agent gem Roseman found last offseason, but he is now poised to cash in. Baun, edge rusher Josh Sweat, DT Milton Williams and guard Mekhi Becton headline Philly’s free agent class, and bringing all or even some of them back could prove challenging, especially if Garrett enters the picture — and you can be certain Roseman will have Philly in the conversation for Garrett."
Garrett, who made it known he is ready to move on from Cleveland by requesting a trade, finished the 2024 NFL season racking up a league-best 83 total pressures from 477 pass-rush snaps, including 13 QB hits and 56 QB hurries. He also recorded 14 sacks, which made him the only player in NFL history with 14 or more sacks in four straight seasons.
