Report: Browns conditional third-round pick becomes first-round pick if Rams trade Garrett to AFC North

Thought this was interesting. Why would they be worried about us trading him so soon and specifically to an AFC North team?

Also, the "conditional 3rd" can go to a First rd pick seems like quite a jump up. Why a First rd pick and not a Second rd? Do they know something we don't know that makes them worry so much about it that they had to have it writing??? lol

The Browns added a little extra protection for themselves to complete the Myles Garrett trade to the Rams this week.

While Cleveland received edge rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick from Los Angeles in exchange for Garrett, the league’s daily transaction wire noted that the final pick was conditional.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the condition on that 2029 third-round pick is that it will become a first-round pick in the event that the Rams trade Garrett to a team in the AFC North.

It doesn’t seem likely that the Rams would even want to trade Garrett at any point in the future.

But just in case they do, the Browns have at least made it unlikely that they’ll ever see Garrett twice a year on the opposing sideline.

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
