Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze the blockbuster trade sending Myles Garrett to the Rams and what it means for the Browns' long-term future. NFL insider Tom Pelissero joins to break down the trade value and whether veterans like Denzel Ward are also on the move. They also react to Todd Monken's strong comments regarding quarterback Brendan Sorsby's character concerns. 01:50 - Fans React to Garrett Trade 05:02 - Todd Monken's QB Faith 08:46 - Supplemental Draft Auction Talk 13:37 - Tom Pelissero Trade Insight 21:00 - Rams' Strategy for Garrett 26:30 - Andrew Barry's Reset Plan 32:11 - Denzel Ward's Trade Future 36:50 - Facing The 2026 Reality

Ken and Lima dissect Todd Monken's surprisingly harsh public comments about Brendan Sorsby, with Lima making a genuinely wild but hard to dismiss point that no NFL head coach in recent memory has ever spoken that negatively about a potential draft pick, and wondering out loud whether Andrew Berry told him to say exactly that to scare off competition in the supplemental draft blind auction. The broader post-trade reality sets in as Ken admits he was completely wrong to think the Browns were trying to compete this year, arguing that trading Myles Garrett is the clearest possible signal that they have zero faith in their quarterback room and everything is pointed at 2027. Ken gives Todd Monken something close to a pass on wins and losses this season but draws the line at the offense, saying after two years of free agency spending, high draft capital, and an offensive head coach, scoring more than 16 points a game is the bare minimum expectation. Tom Pelissero is up next and Ken wants one answer above everything else: how long ago was this trade actually agreed to?

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the Rams becoming the NFL's final boss after trading for Myles Garrett and turning an already-loaded roster into a Super Bowl-or-bust monster. Did Los Angeles just weaponize its biggest weaknesses with Garrett, Trent McDuffie, and Jaylen Watson? Can Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Sean McVay, and this new-look defense become a 12, 13, or even 15-win team? JT also breaks down how the Rams' urgency exposes the 49ers, why ring culture has poisoned NFL debates around players like Lamar Jackson and coaches like Kyle Shanahan, and how Super Bowl rings should shape legacy without becoming the only argument that matters. Plus, JT discusses why D.J. Moore could be a major win for the Bills with Josh Allen and Joe Brady, why Kyler Murray may already be taking control of the Vikings QB job over J.J. McCarthy, why the Giants WR room has more names than answers with Malik Nabers, OBJ, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Darnell Mooney, and Braxton Berrios, how A.J. Brown changes everything for Drake Maye and the Patriots, and whether Deshaun Watson still has one last chance to save his Browns career with Todd Monken and Shedeur Sanders waiting in Cleveland.

Ken and Nick take calls and dig into the uncomfortable theory that trading Garrett is less about building a winner and more about punting to 2029 when the new stadium opens, and Ken wants no part of that logic. A caller named Jim makes the blunt case that Myles is essentially putting nice tires on a bad car, pointing to the infamous six sack loss to the Patriots as proof that even a historically dominant defensive performance cannot save this team. Ken's real fear comes into focus by the end, arguing that trading Garrett does not just cost you wins this season, it potentially costs you Todd Monken, Andrew Barry, and the entire organizational continuity that Cleveland fans have been desperate for since 1999. The question hanging over everything is simple: if it is a seven win team with Garrett, what exactly are you signing up for without him?

Ken and Nick wrestle with the full domino effect of a Garrett trade, and the thing eating at Ken most is not the lost wins, it is the clock it would start ticking on Todd Monken before he ever gets a real chance. Ken lays out the brutal math: if this year becomes a throwaway, the rookie quarterback has to be great immediately, Deshaun Watson has to play at an obscene level to justify anything, and all of it has to work out perfectly or Andrew Barry and Monken are gone too. The Brendan Sorsby conversation adds another layer of chaos, with Ken genuinely hoping Sorsby wins his injunction today because the last thing this franchise needs is another quarterback question mark on top of everything else. By the end Ken sounds exhausted but clear, saying this organization is reaching a critical mass and he no longer thinks he is wasting everyone's time talking about it.

Ken and Nick break down a telling 58 seconds of Adam Schefter audio where Schefter rules out the Eagles but conspicuously refuses to rule out a Myles Garrett trade altogether, which Owen immediately clocks as a non-answer dressed up as an answer. Ken admits he has been sticking his head in the sand for weeks, making excuses for why Garrett skipped workouts and never met Todd Monken in person, but the Mike Rutenberg press conference last week finally started cracking his denial. The guys land on an interesting theory that Myles is actually playing this perfectly by staying quiet, having learned from his Radio Row flamethrower moment last year that torching the organization publicly got him nothing he could not have gotten anyway. Now the phones are lighting up and Ken wants to know one thing from Browns fans: if this trade happens before the end of the day, does it break you?

Ken and Nick dig into the domino effect of a Myles Garrett trade, landing on a genuinely alarming point: the Browns would likely be competing for the number one overall pick next year, but without Garrett, their pitch to the Manning family falls completely apart. Nick lays out what made the Browns an attractive destination, a retooled offensive line, invested receivers, and the best defensive player of this generation, and how all of that evaporates the second Myles walks out the door. Ken adds another layer of urgency by noting that mandatory minicamp is June 9th and Garrett still has not met his coaching staff, meaning the Browns are probably trying to solve this by June 8th or face an incredibly awkward situation on day one of Todd Monken's tenure. Both guys are sick about it but cannot look away, because if this trade happens, everything about how you sell Cleveland to a franchise quarterback changes overnight.

Ken and Nick dig into the mounting evidence that a Myles Garrett trade is coming before mandatory minicamp on June 9th, with Ken admitting he was texted that the return is something he is not going to like, which rules out the three first rounders Danny Cunningham was dreaming about. A caller named Mike makes the most aggressive case yet, arguing the Browns should trade both Garrett and Denzel Ward while they are at peak value, blow up the culture, and let Todd Monken build something from scratch with young pieces. Ken pushes back hard on the culture argument, pointing out that Denzel Ward missing OTAs is completely different from Garrett's situation, and lands on the thing that is really eating at him: if you trade Myles today, you are willingly signing up for years of cold Sunday mornings watching a bad football team and hoping it all works out in the 2027 draft.

Ken and Lima explore the polarizing debate between starting Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders for the Cleveland Browns. They evaluate Todd Monken's offensive philosophy, the rebuilding offensive line, and why some fans are calling for a trade despite Sanders' status as a young prospect. 01:08 - NBA Franchise Players 01:55 - Guardians Salary Floor 03:25 - Browns Quarterback Debate 10:15 - Shedeur Sanders Future

On this epsiode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT ranks every NFL team that can go from worst to first, starting with the Lions, Giants, Saints, Titans, Browns, Jets, Raiders, and Cardinals as he breaks down which rosters, coaches, quarterbacks, divisions, and defensive upgrades give each team a real shot at flipping their season. JT also reacts to John Harbaugh's spicy Cowboys comments and what they say about the Giants' rivalry standard, Jaxson Dart's Year 2 expectations, and whether Dallas still owns the NFC East matchup. The Commanders' reliance on Jayden Daniels gets put under the microscope as JT questions whether Washington is building around its young star or hiding behind him. Plus, how Makai Lemon could make the Eagles offense easier for Jalen Hurts, Sean Mannion, DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, and the post-A.J. Brown transition, whether the Steelers added enough around Aaron Rodgers with DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard, Rico Dowdle, and Mike McCarthy, and what Todd Monken's first year with the Browns could look like as Cleveland tries to fix its quarterback situation. All that plus NFL worst-to-first rankings, NFC East storylines, AFC North questions, rookie impact players, and early 2026 NFL season expectations.

Jeremy Fowler gives Watson the edge, Mike Garofalo goes 101 percent certain he starts Week 1, and Ken and Lima are left trying to reconcile what they want with what every credible NFL insider is telling them. The Browns QB race conversation runs parallel to Game 2 tonight at MSG, which Ken and Lima both acknowledge feels way more urgent than a game two should feel after blowing a 22-point lead. Todd Monken's honest postgame frustration over 7-on-7 interceptions is either refreshing or terrifying depending on your outlook, and the Shedeur fans debating reporters on social media over what they actually watched at practice is its own separate disaster.

Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com joins Ken and Lima to sort through the OTA noise, confirming Watson took more first-team snaps early but Shedeur got the critical 11-on-11 period that matters most, which means the competition is real even if the optics favor the veteran. The Myles Garrett absence debate gets a definitive answer from Mary Kay — there's simply a different set of rules for generational players, and Todd Monken himself has said it's not a big deal. Judkins looking explosive in 11-on-11 is the best Browns news of the week, Petonio's future remains a genuine mystery, and Mary Kay draws the line on the Game 1 collapse being a Drive or Fumble-level moment — only if they lose the series does it belong in that conversation.

They analyze the dynamic between Deion Sanders and NFL coaches, specifically regarding his son Shedeur Sanders' professional future. They argue that as a Power 4 head coach, Deion's desire to communicate with figures like Todd Monken is standard practice rather than nepotism. 01:00 - Browns Quarterback Race 02:04 - Deion Sanders Outreach Debate 04:33 - Manning Family Standards 06:21 - Professional Coaching Dynamics 09:46 - Cavaliers Playoff Expectations

Ken and Lima bring the phones in on the Myles Garrett trade debate and the callers largely side with Ken — nobody wants to trade the greatest defensive player in Browns history for picks that land on contenders picking at the bottom of the first round, and the no-trade clause means Garrett himself has final say over where he goes anyway. Ken doubles down on his position that the Browns are genuinely trying to win, not rebuild, and that trading Garrett would torpedo the season, torpedo Todd Monken's only shot at being a head coach, and signal to the fan base that 2026 is a throwaway year right as they're trying to build toward the new stadium. The most honest moment comes when both Ken and Lima acknowledge the only scenario where a trade makes real sense — three first-round picks from a contender, paired with a quarterback situation that gives you something to build around — and right now the Browns have neither condition met.
