ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter reports that the linebacker has been given permission by the Tennessee Titans to seek a deal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Titans have granted permission to former Pro-Bowl LB Harold Landry to seek a trade, per sources. Landry started all 17 games last season, finishing with 71 tackles, nine sacks, 18 pressures and four pass deflections. The 28-year-old Landry has 31.5 sacks in the last three seasons\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xXLOVrZioD\">pic.twitter.com\/xXLOVrZioD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1894729070090334434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 26, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">For Detroit, Landry could be a nice trade pivot. He&#8217;s not likely to command the type of king&#8217;s ransom return that the Cleveland Browns would seek for Garrett. Additionally, he is a year younger than Garrett, and has put up 50.5 sacks to go with two interceptions and 12 forced fumbles. He&#8217;s the kind of active edge disruptor that could make a difference in ratcheting up quarterback pressure for the Lions.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\">Brad Holmes explains difficulties of trading for and keeping high end pass rushers<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Dealing for Garrett, arguably the best defensive player in the league, would be a difficult offseason endeavor. There&#8217;s lots of money involved and Detroit would have to cough up assets to make the deal. There could also be reluctance on both ends to consummate a trade, and it could be difficult to fit such a player in long-term. Holmes understands how tough it is to facilitate big moves for pass rushers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\"><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard, man. Just not a lot of those guys available. We lost a star pass rusher due to injury. Just because we lost a star pass rusher, that doesn&#8217;t mean other teams are going to say &#8216;Hey, we have a star pass rusher. I know you lost one, but we have one. Would you like to have this one?&#8217; No, that&#8217;s a star pass rusher for that team and they&#8217;re trying to win games. It&#8217;s not just (during the) trade deadline, it&#8217;s free agency and during the year. Those guys are hard to find. Those guys are hard to acquire, and it&#8217;s hard to keep them financially. We have one that&#8217;s due for an extension and we&#8217;ve already kind of gotten into the planning stages about him. When you talk about adding another one, it&#8217;s like, can you financially add another one? Because you want to add the other one on top of everything else that you have and that makes it tough.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">While Garrett may or may not be available, it&#8217;s clear Landry will be. If the Lions want to boost their pass rush without spending a fortune in draft assets and future money, Landry represents a good option to fortify the defense with major production.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\"><strong>Update, 6:05 p.m. ET: <\/strong>ESPN&#8217;s Kimberly A. Martin reported the Lions were the team most interested in Garrett at last season&#8217;s trade deadline.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ICYMI: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Browns?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Browns<\/a> GM Andrew Berry told me Myles Garrett is \u201cunmovable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also told teams expressed interest in Myles Garrett ahead of last season\u2019s trade deadline.
