What happened: Jimmy Haslam has overseen the departures of Myles Garrett and Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Cleveland Browns and Milwaukee Bucks in just over three weeks. The moves removed two franchise-level stars from organizations under the same ownership umbrella.

Why it matters: For the Browns, moving Myles Garrett reshapes the roster entering the 2026 NFL season after years built around an elite pass rush. For the Bucks, trading Antetokounmpo marks a franchise reset after an era defined by championship contention.

By the numbers: Garrett finished the 2025 season with 23 sacks and 33 tackles for loss, then won NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Antetokounmpo appeared in 36 games during the 2025-26 season as Milwaukee finished 32-50 and missed the playoffs.

What to watch: Watch how Cleveland replaces Garrett’s edge production before training camp. Milwaukee’s next phase will center on how quickly its rebuilt roster takes shape.
