Last month, Deion Sanders rejected the idea of the Browns trading defensive end Myles Garrett. Now that the trade has happened, Deion is singing a different tune.
“They got a killer on defense, I’m tired of y’all talking about trading him and getting rid of him,” Sanders told Garrett Bush before the trade. “That don’t make no sense to me. That’s a once in a lifetime man. That’s a once in a lifetime man that you don’t see no more. I don’t get rid of that. Unless I could get your mama, daddy, your uncle, cousins, and everybody in a trade for that. Because that’s a grown man. That’s a winner. That’s a winner.”
Now that Garrett was traded, Deion deferred to the decision.
“I’m happy with Mr. [Andrew] Berry, the G.M., and what he’s doing, I’m not going to question his direction of what he’s bringing to the table,” Sanders recently told D.J. Saddiqi of Covers.com as part of a media tour for Deion’s Depend partnership. “I’m not there, so I don’t know all the intangibles that provoked that trade. I’m happy with what they got, and I can’t wait to see how it plays out.”
Apparently, Deion considers Jared Verse and a first-, second-, and third-round pick to equate to “your mama, daddy, your uncle, cousins, and everybody.” At least we now know how to calibrate that specific metric.
