The Dawg Pound might be in for a gut punch. Myles Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, just made it clear—he’s chasing rings, not just records. Fun fact: He wasn’t even doing the latter in Cleveland (3-14 to close the ’24 season). “The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton. It has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl,” he said.
But let’s connect the dots here. Garrett wants Super Bowl. He has the acumen. 7 seasons with double-digit sacks, that’s no joke! So, why not pin him with the team chasing Lombardy trophies as well? One AFC North team just might be the perfect fit. The Ravens. Or how one woud say: Lamar Jackson’s Purple Pain.
Fresh off another so close, yet so far postseason, could be the ideal landing spot for the pass-rushing powerhouse. But don’t take our word for it—Jackson himself seems to be stirring the pot.
Shortly after Garrett’s statement dropped, Jackson re-posted a Ravens fan tweet that had a little recruitment pitch: “The purple fits you well… Do you like crab cakes?” Well, fans speculating is totally fine. Mind you, the graphic used in the original post was also looking clean. X’s GROK AI did the perfect job in emulating what Baltimore wants.
And now, it seems that the Ravens 2-time MVP winner wants a winner defensive truck in his ranks. That’s not just a compliment to Garrett. But that’s a full-blown invitation. And with Baltimore already stacked on defense, adding Garrett could turn ‘almost’ into ‘unstoppable’.
