It’s not every day you find a NFL Defensive Player of the Year up for grabs, and certainly not one of Myles Garrett’s caliber.

Certainly they’ve been carefully threading the needle on contracts, rookie deals and excellent drafting to build culture and possible longevity, but there’s always the argument of windows, win now, just-one-more-piece and all that.
