The Detroit Lions are eyeing a high-profile acquisition with Myles Garrett's recent trade request from the Cleveland Browns. Garrett, a seasoned All-Pro defensive end, aims to enhance his chances of winning a Super Bowl. However, acquiring him poses challenges, particularly in terms of compensation. Lions GM Brad Holmes has acknowledged the difficulty of securing elite edge rushers like Garrett, citing the need for substantial draft capital or key player exchanges to finalize a trade.

Three potential trade proposals have emerged. The first suggests sending multiple high-value draft picks to the Browns in exchange for Garrett and a 2025 third-round pick. The second proposal revolves around factoring in quarterback Hendon Hooker, potentially appealing to Cleveland's uncertain QB situation. The final proposal opts for a swap involving Brian Branch, a promising safety, to maintain draft resources while still bolstering the Lions' defense with Garrett.
