Superstar DE Myles Garrett wrote up a nice note thanking Cleveland for the smiles and (mostly) cries, and officially requested a trade.
Soooo... Dallas Turner for Myles who says no?  Or can we somehow pair them together?? Or does this 99.9% chance have nothing to do with us? Probably, but big news regardless.
Cleveland is in a freefall.
EDIT: Thanks @ Canthony for correcting me. Originally I kept calling Garrett, Myles Turner. Whoops.

I think with the money that comes with Garrett you stay with Turner. He is just getting going and is young. I love Garrett and fits our scheme, but we have a player for that position, and I don't think that will have anything to do with the Vikings.

Cleveland doesn't want to trade him. And I believe they've reconfigured his contract a few times and owe him a bunch of money that they'd have to eat. Doesn't seem feasible unless another team really goes nuts.

Bleacher Report suggested a trade with Cleveland for CB Denzel Ward. They gave the Browns our 2025 1st rounder, which is too high for a player with his contract, but I think corner is where we'd add, not edge.

I could see them trading him. They’re probably pretty much screwed no matter what happens with him, given the Watson contract. It might take some finagling to make everyone happy though. His contract would be super cheap for the new team, so they would have to compensate the browns for that.
I think there's zero percent chance we would trade for him though.

Garrett you mean. I am assuming.

We are currently stacked at that position, between Greenard, Van Ginkel and Turner sitting in the wings.
We can use that cap space on bigger needs, such as OG and DT (and possibly CB).

Yah, I say 0 chance they throw any time/resource into this. He's 29 and what? An 8 year vet now?
I think they are going to prioritize DB much more than many in Viking land might believe.
Especially with Gilmore most likely retiring.

Doh! Yes all the NBA news had me thinking Myles Turner. 
Myles Garrett!!
Also to respond to some comments-- I'm pretty sure they'll trade him. He's earned it I think, like Stafford did in DET. Team probably knew he was putting out this statement, now 31 other teams will call them.

Minnesota is not trading JJ McCarthy. Now, could they work out something with Darnold? Van Ginkel? Maybe.
