The Cleveland Browns made a significant move by trading two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett on June 1, raising questions about the team's direction. General Manager Andrew Berry previously indicated he would not trade Garrett, who was recently signed to a four-year extension. Just after the trade, the Browns extended defensive backs Denzel Ward and Grant Delpit, with Ward becoming the highest-paid cornerback. The team now faces $47 million in dead salary cap charges linked to Garrett over the next two seasons, complicating their cap situation as they look to rebuild.
