The hour begins with a closer look at the blockbuster Myles Garrett trade, as Chris Russell revisits how Browns GM Andrew Berry once called Garrett “untouchable,” only for the star pass rusher to eventually be moved after requesting a trade, signing a lucrative extension, and publicly recommitting to Cleveland. Chris breaks down the massive dead cap implications facing the Browns and questions the organization’s long-term financial decision-making, arguing that the franchise continues to create avoidable salary cap problems. The conversation then shifts to Washington, where listeners debate whether the Commanders could have realistically matched the Rams’ trade package and pulled off a deal for Garrett themselves. The hour wraps up with a look at the Rams’ side of the trade, as Chris acknowledges that adding Garrett significantly strengthens Los Angeles defensively, while also arguing that special teams was one of the biggest factors that held the Rams back last season.
