The path to trading Myles:
TL;DR version
1) It'll sting financially, no matter what, in order to spread out the cap hit
2) It'll HAVE to be a post June-1 trade
3) The Browns simply don't have to do it, so a hefty comp could happen, but it'll be for the 2026 draft and beyond
4) The team who acquires him will take a minimal cap hit themselves, so that's good
5) But, they have to poney up a Crosby+ sized deal
6) No mention in the article was made of the "trade to a contender" part of this. My 2cents is the Bears could thread that needle.
So…
Step 1) Draft a QB THIS year
Step 2) Trade Myles this summer and stockpile picks for 2026
Step 3) If this year's QB doesn't work out, then draft another one in 2026
Step 4) 2027 we are officially out of cap hell
Step 5) 2029 Brook Park move results in a roomier locker room, which culminates into a Super Bowl win.
