The NFL offseason is upon us, and there can be some massive moves to bolster different teams. The Chicago Bears are looking to improve, as they have quarterback Caleb Williams entering his second season and new coach Ben Johnson. However, the defensive side of the ball could replace one Pro Bowler with another.

Former NFL veteran and current radio host John "Jurko" Jurkovic discussed how he would trade Jaylon Johnson, who has a four-year $76 million contract, for Myles Garrett in a hypothetical deal.

"If I was going to trade for your guy, Myles Garrett for Jaylon Johnson. I got a top 100 football player in the NFL. Myles Garrett also got a little bit of dog in him. I'd move Jaylon Johnson."

"The reason I say Jaylon Johnson, you've got depth in the defensive backfield. I still want the picks, because you want to have young talent. You got to develop young talent to be able to maintain whatever you think you're going to have over the course of a lifetime."

It would certainly be a massive move and would likely include more than just a straight-up Jaylon Johnson for Myles Garrett trade. Jaylon Johnson is under contract for the next three seasons, with a $21 million cap hit in each season.


Where's the best NFL landing spot for Myles Garrett?

Myles Garrett is one of the best defensive players in the NFL, and there are some interesting fits if the Cleveland Browns decide to move him. The best fit would be pairing him alongside Aidan Hutchinson with the Detroit Lions, as it makes offensive lines decide who they are going to double-team.

Detroit fell short the previous season, with a massive reason being the fact that they dealt with a lot of injuries, specifically on the defensive side of the field. Getting a former Defensive Player of the Year fits coach Dan Campbell's philosophy of hard-hitting football from his team on a weekly basis.
