There may not be a clear frontrunner in the Myles Garrett sweepstakes just yet, but ESPN's Adam Schefter is already ruling out at least a trio of teams.

Returning to the "Pat McAfee Show" on Monday, the NFL insider shared what he knows about the situation so far and the three franchises he knows the Browns won't deal him to.

"In his ideal world, [Garrett's choosing a team he believes can win a Super Bowl]," Schefter admitted. "A few things to keep in mind, I don't think there's any way or chance in hell that the Browns ever would consider trading him in-division [to the Ravens, Steelers or Bengals] so you could knock out those teams." 

"And by the way, they say they aren't trading them at all. They're certainly not trading him in the division. I would think that if they're trading them, they certainly wouldn't want to trade him in-conference," he continued.

"Myles Garrett would have the ability, because any team would have to give up a haul, and any team that trades for him, obviously we'd want to have him under contract. So he would have some say there, because let's just say it was normal, and let's say he doesn't like the area, he doesn't believe in the team, he doesn't like whatever it is. He could say, 'I'm not going there.'"

Garrett definitely holds a good deal of power in this situation after informing the team that he'd like to be traded to a contender and that he's unwilling to go through another rebuild.

"While I've loved calling this city my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won't allow me to be complacent. The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl," he said in the statement.

Where do you think the best fit for Garrett's talents is?
