However, if Garrett had been more determined to push for a move out of Cleveland, the New England Patriots could have been a viable trade partner.<\/p>\n<p>Bleacher Report\u2019s Kristopher Knox wrote on Friday that he would have loved to see Garrett <a target=\"_blank\" https:=\"\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">play for the<\/a> Patriots this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine how his numbers might look if opponents actually had to pass often,\u201d Knox wrote. We could have picked just about competitive team here, but the New England Patriots would have made perfect sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey took an aggressive approach to the offseason, adding the likes of Milton Williams, K\u2019Lavon Chaisson and Stefon Diggs in free agency. Going after Garrett would have followed the offseason plan. The Patriots also have the cap flexibility to pay Garrett, as they still lead the league in\u00a0available cap space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The Browns have one of the league\u2019s worst records at 3-12, but Garrett is having a fantastic season, recording 22 sacks. He\u2019s just one sack away from breaking the single-season record. If he played on a strong team like New England, there\u2019s a good chance he could have already broken the record, as opposing teams would likely have had to throw the ball more to try to beat the Patriots.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Patriots NEED To Win The Division!\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/show\/5a6NOk6fNFeoPWNcVm7v3c?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During the offseason, there was some buzz surrounding the possibility that the Cleveland Browns could have traded their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374352,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,16820,593,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-374351","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-myles-garrett","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
