New Next-Team Odds: Will Packers Add Myles Garrett, Cooper Kupp, Deebo Samuel?

The Green Bay Packers have slid back a bit in new next-team odds for Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Packers were +1100 to land the All-Pro defensive end last week. Now, they are +1200. What does that mean? From a non-gambling perspective, the Packers have a 7.69 percent chance to land Garrett now compared to 8.33 percent last week.

The Washington Commanders are the betting favorite to acquire Garrett, followed by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. Two NFC North teams, the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, have shorter odds than the Packers, too.

The interesting change is the Browns and Commanders were the co-favorites last week, with Cleveland repeatedly saying it will not trade Garrett. Now, the Commanders and Eagles have shorter odds than the Browns, meaning it’s viewed as more likely that Cleveland will give in to Garrett’s desires.

“I’m willing to do whatever it takes,” Garrett said on ESPN’s Super Bowl pregame show. “I want to have a chance to win those big games, to go out there and compete, to elevate a team as a player, as a teammate, as a leader, and just come in and have an immediate effect.”

The 29-year-old Garrett has four consecutive seasons of at least 14 sacks. He was the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2023. He finished fifth in that vote in 2022 and third in 2024.

Garrett could push the Packers over the top, but general manager Brian Gutekunst every offseason cautions that a team is never “one player away” from winning a Super Bowl.

Gutekunst has traded high-profile players such as Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers and even Rasul Douglas but has not traded for a star player. Getting Garrett almost certainly would require two first-round picks and either an additional early draft pick or an established player.

“If it’s the right player, if you feel like he can be a dynamic player who can change your football team, I think you’ve got to consider that, because there’s not many of those guys out there,” Gutekunst said at the end of the season. “But I think you have to also understand what you’re giving up. So that’s kind of my philosophy. …

“If that player can impact our football team in a significant way, you have to consider that.”
