Is Myles Garrett Coming to Philly?
As another week goes by in the NFL, another rumor is sprung upon. This one is coming straight out of Philadelphia. Word around the league is that the Eagles are willing to go all-in to acquire defensive end Myles Garrett. This blockbuster trade is said to offer multiple first-round picks to make this deal happen. If this rumor is true and does happen, this could be a season-defining moment for the Eagles.
Adding someone like Garrett would only push the Eagles in a positive direction. This could give the Eagles everything they need for their defensive line. With the Eagles desperately needing an edge rusher, Garrett would make total sense. Opposing quarterbacks would face relentless pressure with every snap of the game. This type of trade could also open up the doors for other defensive players on the Eagles, allowing them to get more sacks and turnovers. Garrett’s energy and physicality would ultimately change the game for the Eagles.
This type of trade does come with a lot at stake, though. With three first-round picks on the line, Howie Roseman would have to decide if this is the best option for the Eagles franchise. As the Eagles look more in the present rather than the future, they have a Super Bowl championship they are still defending and would like to keep going. As nothing in the future is 100% for sure, betting on what is now sometimes can be the best choice.
Not too long ago, we were having the same conversations running around the town. Going back to Week Six, when the Eagles took a devastating loss to the New York Giants, speculation grew over A.J. Brown. Talk of the town was that the Eagles may trade him, but three weeks later, he is still on the roster for the Eagles. If this deal were to ever come about, this would send a clear message to the entire NFL that the Eagles will stop at nothing to complete a picture-perfect roster. Adding Garrett would take them to the next level and go down in history as Philadelphia’s biggest move yet. For right now, this headline topic will sit as a rumor, and I am sure more will come. As time continues to go on, all we can do is sit and watch.
