Not Enough for Myles Garrett

As I was exiting my vehicle this afternoon, it was announced that the Cleveland Browns had traded Myles Garrett.
Details were sketchy, but the first announcement was "Garrett was traded for a defensive player and picks."
I grabbed my co-worker and literally yelled at him. THE BROWNS ARE F@CKING IDIOTS. UNLESS THEY TRADED GARRETT FOR 2 STARTERS AND 3 FIRST ROUNDERS, THEY DIDN"T GET ENOUGH.
Of course they didn't get enough.
In 2022, the Browns traded for Texans Pro Bowl Quarterback DeShuan Watson. The Browns gave up:
3 first-rounders
1 third-rounder
2 fourth-rounders
Now Watson was a very good quarterback, but he was coming off 20+ charges of serious sexual misconduct. They overpaid to get the guy they wanted. Then the guy they wanted sucked.
In 2025, the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Packers. The Packers gave up:
1 pro-bowler
2 first-rounders
The Parsons trade is the template where the Browns should have STARTED negotiations with the L.A. Rams.
Myles Garrett was, arguably, the Cleveland Browns' best defensive player in their 80 year (or so) history. When Garrett retires, he will be walking straight into the Hall of Fame and, possibly, be holding the all-time sack record as well. Garrett was a once in a generation talent on the defensive side of the football and is locked into a 4 year contract. What did the Browns get for that?
1 pro-bowler
1 first-rounder
1 second-rounder
1 third-rounder

Full Myles Garrett trade details leave Browns fans asking: ‘That’s it?’
That's it indeed.
Even Madden wouldn't let the trade go through:
You know what?
If the Rams win the Super Bowl next year.....
Screw it, I'm too pissed off to write anymore.
