Bears add a Garrett who used to be with Cleveland but there's a catch

It probably will excite some to know a Garrett who was affiliated with the Browns defensive line is coming to the Bears.
It's not that Garrett, and he's not even a defensive line player. Oh, and he wasn't with the Browns this year.
Jeremy Garrett was Jaguars defensive line coach this past season and had been with the Browns as a defensive line assistant in 2020-21 when he actually did help coach Myles Garrett, who now wants to be traded.
Garrett replaces Travis Smith. Earlier in the coach hiring cycle, defensive line coaching veteran Bill Johnson had been reported as joining the forming Bears staff. However, it apparently was not in the role of defensive line coach.
After graduating from Ole Miss, #Jaguars defensive line coach Jeremy Garrett didn't go straight into coaching. Instead he spent two years as a loan officer in Mississippi and to him, he was "one of the best in the country." 😂 #Duuuval pic.twitter.com/SWvsQg0YGt

There is a connection point for Garrett to this Bears staff and that's through Dennis Allen. He didn't play or coach with or for Allen but was the defensive line coach for Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen last year and Nielsen is a former assistant under Allen with the Saints.
The Bears haven't officially announced the staff in its entirety at this point.
#ChicagoBears pass rush was absolutely abysmal this past season. Sweat had a team leading 5.5 sacks, that’s not cutting it. Simply put they need more pressure. Trade for Myles Garrett. Extend him through 2028. Bears also have a potential out in Sweat’s contract in 2026 #DaBears pic.twitter.com/d4MqRvTK9H

Jeremy Garrett, a former Ole' Miss player, was defensive line coach at Auburn in 2023 and at Liberty in 2022 after he had been assistant defensive line coach with the Browns in 2020 and 2021.
He started out college coaching in 2019 as a quality control coach and had been a high school coach from 2011-18 in Nashville.
Now, start your own conspiracy theories on why the Bears would add a defensive line coach who had been in Cleveland working with Myles Garrett for two years.
Does this mean #DaBears are targeting Myles Garrett in a trade with CLE - the team that gave Jeremy Garrett his first NFL coaching gig?
