The San Francisco 49ers’ disastrous trade for Trey Lance in 2021 means they can’t make a blockbuster deal for Myles Garrett in 2025. At least not if head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch plan to stay true to their long-term vision.

If you hopped in your motor vehicle in Cleveland, and drove cross-country, your journey to San Francisco, would cover 2,456 miles (give or take a rest stop or two). That appears to be the difference between desire and feasibility of the San Francisco 49ers swinging a deal for disgruntled Browns’ edge-rusher Myles Garrett.

Myles Garrett is on radio row at Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans, after his trade request from Cleveland Browns. We asked him about Detroit Lions.
