Myles Garrett is \u201cnot open\u201d to a contract extension from the Browns. What does him having \u201cslammed the door\u201d on negotiations there mean to Jerry Jones\u2019 Cowboys?<\/p>\n

FRISCO \u2013 How serious are the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0about making an \u201caggressive\u201d toward a Micah Parsons bookend in the form of\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0edge rusher Myles Garrett?<\/p>\n

Garrett just made a decision that should help Cowboys Nation find out.<\/p>\n

Garrett, 29, was the No. 1 pick of the 2017 Draft, is a four-time All-Pro and has been a loyal citizen in Cleveland. But he\u2019s tired of going nowhere and has asked the Browns to trade him.<\/p>\n

As legendary player in Browns franchise history, Cleveland has made overtures toward keeping him happy by suggesting a contract extension.<\/p>\n

His reported response?<\/p>\n

Garrett is \u201cnot open\u201d to a contract extension from the Browns. In fact, reporter Mary Kay Cabot writes that he has\u00a0\u201cslammed the door\u201d on negotiations.<\/p>\n

That is a powerful message sent not only to the Browns, but also to other bidders. His point? This is about more than money.<\/p>\n

Can Dallas \u2013 his hometown team as he grew up in Arlington in the shadow of AT&T Stadium \u2013 be a bidder? Absolutely.<\/p>\n

Garrett has two years left on his contract with cap hits of about $20 million in each. The \u201cmessage\u201d aside, we bet a new contract will likely be part of the package, wherever he lands.<\/p>\n

This all started at the start of the month in February with Garrett\u2019s official announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I\u2019ve loved calling this city (Cleveland) my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won\u2019t allow me to be complacent,\u201d Garrett announced on Monday. \u201cThe goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a\u00a0Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that in mind, I have requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frustrated with the Browns \u2013 still drafting in the top five nearly a decade after taking Garrett with the first pick in 2017 \u2013 the superstar has suggested that he needs to see a reasonable path to success.<\/p>\n

Is a shocking Garrett trade likely? He\u2019s an All-World player at the height of his powers. It\u2019ll be costly to get him.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, after an underwhelming Dallas 7-10 campaign, are the Cowboys seen as a Super Bowl team?<\/p>\n

Garrett has a pristine reputation and like Dallas\u2019 Parsons \u2013 who has reached out to him \u2013 is a perennial Defensive Player of the Year finalist. He has foot injury issues that his perspective new team will want to examine.<\/p>\n

But for a team with Super Bowl dreams? Now that he has officially requested a trade from the Browns, and now that he\u2019s \u201cshut the door\u201d on them, clubs like the Cowboys (who can create $100 million in cap room as needed) can do more than just dream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
