A speculative piece argues the Buffalo Bills could pursue star edge rusher Myles Garrett in 2026 now that Cleveland restructured his contract to enable a potential post‑June 1 trade; for 2026 Garrett would count about $23.5M on the Browns’ cap if kept, but a late‑summer trade could free roughly $13M in cap space for Cleveland, while Buffalo could absorb an $8.34M cap hit (about $31.5M in cash) if acquired; the trade cost is portrayed as likely starting with three first‑round picks, with other suitors like the Rams, Eagles, and Cowboys also mentioned; Cleveland even floated a hypothetical five‑year draft‑pick window in a proposed rule—readers are invited to discuss the idea in the comments.
