Yes, The Cleveland Browns Can Trade Myles Garrett, But Should They

The best way to find out about NFL contract is using Over The Cap compared to any other salary cap websites. My advice when looking at a contract on your phone is to turn it landscape as this will open up an extended view of the deal. Below is Myles Garrett's contract.

We are looking to see what the dead cap cost would be in a trade, so by changing the drop down to what a 'Trade (pre-June 1)' we get the below. The dead cap for the team is $60,757,345.

Since the trade is taking place after June 1st we need to do a slightly different calculation. Teams are allowed to do two post June 1st cut designations each year. There is no designation for trades where you can do it early and the salary impact comes after. You need to wait until after June 1st for this trade impact. Since we are after that we will need to use that by changing the drop down from 'Trade (pre-June 1)' to 'Trade (post-June 1)'.

The number is $19,667,120 for the 2025 dead cap, this is slightly less than his salary cap currently is for 2025. We would need to add to this number slightly as he has earned some of his base salary since we are 8 weeks into the season. But I would just use the initial numbers to begin with as it will barely change with a minimum salary. They still need to pay the remained of the $60,757,345 on the salary cap but this appears in the following season.

So the dead cap would approximately be:

2025 - $19,667,120

2026 - $41,090,225
