Myles Garrett is not open to a contract extension from the Browns. What does that mean to Jerry Jones’ Cowboys?<\/p>\n

FRISCO – How serious are the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0about making an aggressive’ move toward adding a defensive line bookend to Micah Parsons?<\/p>\n

Cleveland Browns\u00a0edge rusher Myles Garrett just made a decision that should help Cowboys Nation find out.<\/p>\n

Garrett, 29, was the No. 1 pick of the 2017\u00a0NFL Draft. He is a four-time All-Pro and has been a loyal citizen in Cleveland. But he’s tired of going nowhere and has asked the Browns to trade him.<\/p>\n

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

His reported response?<\/p>\n

Garrett is\u00a0not open\u00a0to a contract extension from the Browns. In fact, reporter Mary Kay Cabot writes 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 his hometown team – he grew up in the shadow of AT&T Stadium in Arlington – be a bidder? Absolutely.<\/p>\n

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

This process began at the start of February with Garrett’s announcement:<\/p>\n

“While I’ve loved calling this city (Cleveland) my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won’t allow me to be complacent,\u201d Garrett announced . \u201cThe goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a\u00a0Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

“With that in mind, I have requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns.”<\/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 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’ll be costly to get him.<\/p>\n

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

Garrett has a pristine reputation and like Dallas\u2019 Parsons, who has reached out to him, 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 requested a trade from the Browns and has shut the door on them, clubs such as the Cowboys (who can create $100 million in cap room as needed) can do more than just dream.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
