Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport named Mike Macdonald and the Seattle Seahawks a potential landing spot for Myles Garrett.
The Seattle Seahawks finished just short of becoming back-to-back champions about a decade ago. Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport proposed a trade target that could turn the Seahawks into the dominant team during the second half of this decade — Myles Garrett.
On Saturday, Davenport named the Seahawks one of eight potential landing spots for Garrett if the Cleveland Browns trade him this offseason.
“A Garrett trade would be the ultimate all-in move from Seattle general manager John Schneider. In theory, the Seahawks have the cap space to make a trade happen—over $33 million. What they might not have is a player to include in the trade who would turn Cleveland’s gears, so the team might have to up the draft capital involved by including say a Day 2 pick with two firsts,” wrote Davenport.
“Some may call this deal unnecessary—after all, Seattle just won the Super Bowl. But it’s undeniable that Garrett would make Seattle’s defense that much scarier.”
In summary, the Seahawks trading for Garrett would be the best NFL defense adding the league’s best defensive player.
Garrett has won the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award twice in the past three seasons. In 2025, he set a new NFL record with 23 sacks.
During their Super Bowl season, the Seahawks were first in points allowed and sixth in total defense. Seattle also finished last season first in yards per carry allowed and second in net yards yielded per pass.
