Lions fall to 4th in odds to land Myles Garrett

USA Today

The Detroit Lions aren’t the most likely destination for superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett, according to the latest betting odds.

DraftKings Sportsbook released odds Tuesday for Garrett’s next team following his request to the Cleveland Browns to be traded. The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year is currently under contract until 2027.

The odds favored the Browns to retain Garrett (+300), followed by the Commanders (+450), Raiders (+650) and the Lions (+750).

While the Lions desperately need help on their defensive line and have the cap space and draft capital to make a trade happen, trading the farm to get Garrett doesn’t necessarily fit the mold of the Brad Holmes/Dan Campbell regime.

The Browns also don’t have to be in any kind of hurry to trade Garrett. His current contract carries a $37 million cap hit should they ship him off. Given Cleveland’s cap situation in the Deshaun Watson realm, it makes sense that they would be the most likely place for Garrett to play for at least next season.
