Bears called about Browns star DE Myles Garrett leading up to trade deadline: report

Bears Make Late-Round Pick Swap to Acquire Browns DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka; Inquired About Myles Garrett Just Days Before Trade Deadline.

The Chicago Bears made a late-round pick swap to acquire Browns backup defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka just days before the trade deadline, but it appears they were also interested in acquiring one of the best pass rushers in the league - Myles Garrett. According to ESPN, Bears general manager Ryan Poles made calls about several players, including Garrett, who leads the NFL with 11 sacks this season.

Despite being asked about Garrett's availability, the Browns simply told the Bears he wasn't available for trade. However, it seems that Garrett could be a key player in helping the Bears turn their pass rush around. The team has been struggling in this area for several seasons and is currently ranked 18th in the league with 21 sacks.

In contrast to the Bears' late-round pick swap for Tryon-Shoyinka, many are saying that the real move should have been acquiring Garrett or someone of similar caliber.

omg I'm so hyped about this trade! the bears finally made a move to get some decent pass rushers on their squad... tryon-shoyinka is a great pick-up, but let's be real, garrett would've been a game-changer for that team. i mean, 11 sacks in one season? insane! and to think they asked about him just days before the deadline... it's like they were trying to make a move. what was browns thinking with not making it happen tho?

I think the Browns played it smart by not letting Myles Garrett go, especially since he's having an insane season . I mean, 11 sacks is just crazy! If they were willing to trade him and get a whole bunch of draft picks (which seems like what they got from the Bears), that's a pretty good deal for them. The Bears are getting a solid backup DE in Tryon-Shoyinka, but it's not like he's going to change their entire gameplan or anything . I think some people are underestimating how much of an impact Garrett could have on their team...

I dunno about this one . Bears just got a decent backup DE and still didn't pull the trigger on a big name like Myles Garrett? That's just weird. They could've at least thrown in some draft capital to make it worth the risk. Now they're stuck with Tryon-Shoyinka, who's cool and all, but not exactly the game-changer they needed .

I'm not mad about this trade tho ... I mean, the Browns kinda played it cool and told the Bears Garrett wasn't available ... but at the same time, you gotta respect their player's value and all that ... Tryon-Shoyinka is a solid pickup, he's not gonna blow anyone away with his stats tho ... I think the Browns are setting themselves up for some drama if they trade him down the line ... Myles Garrett would've been a huge win for the Bears and really helped turn their D around ️... but still, 11 sacks is no joke!

Ugh, I'm stuck in a time loop of mediocre pass rushers . The Browns basically said no to trading Myles Garrett, which is wild considering how much he's killing it this season . I mean, the Bears could've made some magic happen if they just pulled the trigger on Garrett. Now they're left with Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, who's cool and all, but not exactly a game-changer .

I'm still salty about the Browns' decision, but you gotta respect their desire to build around their own core. That being said, I do think the Bears got some decent value out of that pick swap . Maybe they can use it as a springboard to get Garrett or someone similar in the offseason ? Fingers crossed, right?

omg i feel like the bears really wanted garrett lol he's on fire this season and would've been a huge upgrade for them ! they're already making moves to improve their dline, now if they had just gone all in they'd be set instead of tryon-shoyinka. what do u think tho?

I think it's funny how some people love to watch others make mistakes... "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

 

[NomadCrafterTrail]

idk why they didn't go all out for garrett , tryon-shoyinka is cool and all but he's not on the same level as garrett. and now we're talking about turning the pass rush around... how many other guys can we realistically get in a trade?

The Bears just spent a late round pick on Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and still wanted Myles Garrett? Priorities, right?

I think it's kinda weird that the Browns would shut down the talks with the Bears just days before the trade deadline . I mean, Myles Garrett is a beast on the field and could definitely make a difference for Chicago... but if he wasn't going to be available, why even have those conversations in the first place? And what's up with the Bears making that late-round pick swap for Joe Tryon-Shoyinka when they probably could've gone after Garrett? It seems like a pretty meh move considering how important pass rush is.

But you know, I'm not one to question GMs or their strategies... yet . Maybe there's more to this trade than meets the eye and Poles just played it cool to keep his cards close to his chest? Either way, I think Garrett would've been a huge upgrade for Chicago, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens next season

The Chicago Bears just made a decent move by snagging Joe Tryon-Shoyinka from the Browns - it's about time they strengthened their D-line! I'm not entirely sure what went through Ryan Poles' mind, though... calling around for Myles Garrett just days before the trade deadline is like buying a house without checking the foundation first . If the Bears were really interested in Garrett, they should've made it happen earlier - tryon-shoyinka's going to have some big shoes to fill if he can live up to the hype! Still, I guess this move might help them turn their pass rush around and get those sacks from 18th place.

I'm so hyped for the Bears now! They finally made a move to upgrade their pass rush and I think Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is going to be a game changer . But I gotta say, Myles Garrett would've been the ultimate get . The Browns are playing hard to get or what? I'm not surprised, though - he's one of the best in the league! Either way, this pick swap has me feeling good about the Bears' chances next season . Let's see how Tryon-Shoyinka fits in and if they can finally bring some pressure on those QBs !
