Seahawks Trade Interest
Yahoo Sports reports the Seattle Seahawks are interested in trading for a Cleveland Browns defender who is a two‑time Defensive Player of the Year and carries a $160 million contract (sports.yahoo.com). The piece frames the story as trade interest rather than a completed deal and highlights the player’s award history and contract size (sports.yahoo.com).
The Seattle Seahawks have shown interest in trading for Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett, but no deal has been completed. (sports.yahoo.com) Yahoo Sports described the target as a two-time Defensive Player of the Year with a four-year, $160 million contract. Spotrac lists Garrett’s deal at $160 million with $123.6 million guaranteed and an average value of $40 million per year. (sports.yahoo.com) (spotrac.com) The Browns signed Garrett to that extension in March 2025, running through the 2030 season. Cleveland’s official announcement said the contract kept the former first overall pick under team control for six more years. (clevelandbrowns.com) This is still a rumor, not a transaction. The National Football League’s transaction wire does not list a Garrett trade, and Seattle’s official transaction page shows no move involving him. (nfl.com) (seahawks.com) The timing matters because Garrett’s contract was recently adjusted. National Football League Network reported the Browns restructured the deal, and ESPN reported Browns general manager Andrew Berry said the change was unrelated to trade talks. (nfl.com) (espn.com) Garrett is not just a big contract; he is one of the league’s most productive edge rushers. The Browns said he passed 100 career sacks during the 2024 season, and Yahoo’s report described him as a two-time winner of the league’s top defensive award. (clevelandbrowns.com) (sports.yahoo.com) Seattle’s interest fits an offseason pattern of adding star power while keeping a strong defense intact. ESPN’s offseason tracker says the Seahawks re-signed cornerback Josh Jobe after losing safety Coby Bryant, while Yahoo has also linked Seattle to other high-end defensive trade candidates. (espn.com) (sports.yahoo.com) For now, the clearest fact is that Seattle’s interest has been reported while Cleveland keeps saying Garrett is not available. Until a team files a trade with the league, this remains an offseason rumor around one of the National Football League’s most expensive defenders. (sports.yahoo.com) (nfl.com)
