Bengals Considered Ideal Landing Spot For Browns Disgruntled Star Myles Garrett

Teams rarely make deals like this inside the division.

CINCINNATI — A Myles Garrett trade to Cincinnati is highly unlikely given the divisional bad blood, but CBS Sports's Tyler Sullivan thinks the Bengals should make the call.

Garrett just requested out this week with two years left on his contract.

"Would the Browns really trade Garrett inside the division? I have my doubts, but if you're the Bengals you absolutely make the phone call," Sullivan wrote. "They have the ninth-most cap space in the NFL, so they could afford to bring Garrett aboard. More importantly, Cincinnati needs a talent like Garrett to help get the franchise back on track. Despite explosive seasons from Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase offensively, the Bengals' defense left little to be desired outside of Trey Hendrickson. 

"They ranked 25th in total yards allowed per game (348.3) and points per game (25.5). Adding Garrett to combat quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen would do wonders in the Bengals possibly getting over the hump. Meanwhile, this would arguably be one of the top destinations for Garrett when factoring in his desire to win a Super Bowl."

The Browns are already an embarrassment. Trading Garrett in the division would put them in position to get even more egg on their face.

The Bengals could have a scary tandem with Garrett and Trey Hendrickson.
