Cleveland Browns star pass-rusher Myles Garrett was on the receiving end of some criticisms regarding a supposed lack of leadership qualities long before he publicly made it known in early February he wanted to be traded to an advertised championship contender.

Myles Garrett's trade bluff paid off in a big way as he sign a record-breaking contract. He may owe Browns QB Deshaun Watson a thank you.

Garrett is a Hall of Fame player, but it was in the team's best interest to deal him because of where it resides and his career timeline.
