And a box of spa towels for when they trade all of that for Justin Tucker

Watson and Tucker can swap out their professional services contact lists.

If Nico Harrison was the GM this would be possible..

I genuinely wonder what team could even make a trade for Garrett.

Because it's more than just giving up the picks, as if you give up multiple 1sts for him, you HAVE to sign him to an extension to make sure you're keeping him around for years.  And if you have to give him the extension right away, that also means you need a lot of cap room this offseason.

How many teams are a pass rusher away from being a SB contender, have the picks, and have the cap room?

 I think the first Mack package is a ballpark- 1st and 3rd.....I feel that's too light. tho

He's got 2 years left and what 29(?), but he's a peppers-like alien, so that age doesn't equal "old". Plus best I know, he's been healthy and no big injuries. The worst thing on the resume was the fake n-word and helmet swing on helmentless player. 

I mean if I was a GM that was very comfy with my roster, Id almost trade too much for him along with giving him new mega deal. If I was 85% sure my team could make the playoff the next two years, I would trade two 1st and maybe even mid-rounder/mid player for him. 

He's a difference maker. He's a big nerd, no off-field BS like many others. I'd try for less, but Id give up kings haul for him.

I'm not saying he isn't worth trading for, but if he only wants to go to a contender, you then have to have a contender who has the cap space to give him a new deal (as if you give up multiple 1sts for him and don't sign him to an extension immediately, then you're beyond dumb).

I was more genuinely asking the question, as I didn't feel like looking up potential cap space amongst contenders.

I'm sure there are probably a dozen or so teams that would GLADLY give up multiple firsts and give him a monster extension, but they might not be the teams he's thinking can contend in 2025 by adding him and using up their cap space and draft picks to do so.

If I’m a team like the Bills, this could be a good option to get them over the hump. If it costs 2 1st rounders, it might be worth it to them.

We can't afford him. My bet would be on him getting traded to the Commanders. They have the cap room and they were one W away from being in the Superbowl.

[jasonluckydog]

No player is worth 2-1st round picks. No one. 

[pantherclaw]

They should call his agent. 

I wouldn't get any hope up at all.

This is one of the few players at a critical position that it is worth paying a king's ransom.  I actually think the Panthers will be considered a playoff contender next year, but not a Super Bowl contender.  I doubt this happens, but it would be an amazing pick up.
