What happened: CBS Sports ranked the Myles Garrett trade among the top NFL offseason moves, framing it as a win-win for both sides. Garrett is one of the league's elite pass rushers and the headline name in the deal as the 2026 season approaches.

Why it matters: Win-win framing is comfortable, but elite edge rushers in their prime almost never come available, and any package of picks or players carries real bust risk while a proven game-wrecker does not. When one team gets the best player in a deal, the 'even' label tends to favor the side that gave him up.
