The Myles Garrett Era Is Over... Are The Browns Just Another Bad Team Now?

Ken and Lima process the morning after the Myles Garrett trade with a gut-punch observation that cuts right to the heart of it: when Myles was here, the Browns were bad but they had somebody special, and now they are just another rebuilding team searching for a quarterback. Ken admits he had mentally prepared himself for this moment longer than most fans had, which is why he was more resigned than devastated, but he is clear that the Deshaun Watson disaster is the real villain of this story and the trade is the last casualty of that catastrophic decision. The haul of Jared Verse and picks gets a measured defense, with Ken pointing out that NFL people by the end of the day were calling it a good return, even if Browns fans will always feel like they lost because you simply cannot win a trade where Miles Garrett walks out the door. The clock is now ticking on everything, the quarterback search, Denzel Ward's future, and whether the arrow can actually point up in time to matter.
