If Cleveland is rebuilding odds are they will want draft picks not players with big contracts. Next year Cleveland is under water on their cap. If they trade Garrett they will have to eat 41 mil in Dead Cap to pick up 17 mil in Cap space. That still keeps them in a negative.
People like to talk about getting this stud and that stud edge but you have to look at contracts. Reality check is find one we can fit in our Cap and someone other teams may trade for? Jarrett, Dayo aren't productive enough to trade and have big contracts. Trey Hendrixson is a free agent next year, find 35 mil a year to give to him. Sweat is our best edge that will have over 10 sacks on the year. He's not top tier but getting rid of him doesn't make us better.
Our DL help will be coming in the draft.
This captures the only part of the game you need to watch. If you want a shot of adrenaline, play this.

There's always someone to draft. What the experts may rate as the best may not be. In a redraft, where are teams picking Monangai? Newman looks like he could have been a first year starting OG in the NFL but we picked up top flight players there. He was a 5 th round pick. They will find players. Booker, Turner will be better.
When some people talk about trading players next year, his name comes up a lot. No way BJ is letting this happen. Last week showed why you keep all your weapons, you need them.
This doesn't get old

This is a very realistic draft. I think Dayo plays more snaps inside next year and would go 2 DEs instead of 2 DTs. I suspect they get someone that can play both spots to be able to move around pieces.
I know he has inconsistent coverage but so many of his plays have been so clutch it has to stick out to whoever is watching. Watch any CB other than Pat Surtain, They all have bad plays.
This seems like an impossible achievement to beat SF peaking at this time of the year but I just watched impossible.
Offensively we have to control the clock, run well and stop the penalties. That puts us in a spot to win. We did it in Philly and we can do it here. Their defense gives up a lot of points and both offenses are scoring 26 points a game.
Have to give Poles a lot of credit for the good dudes he has brought in here. DJ, Caleb, Walker, Swift, Monangai, Rome, Loveland, the OL. Find me a ME guy on the team? There isn't one.
I think Dayo will play inside more next year where he is more effective. We ain't getting rid of him so hope he responds. With our Cap definitely we will rely on the draft to get better. Booker is starting to get a better game now.
