On Thursday’s edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start with the rumor that has taken over the sports talk machine: Could the Browns trade Myles Garrett?

Mary Kay definitively shuts down the speculation, explaining why there is a "zero percent chance" of it happening before the trade deadline. They break down the massive financial dead cap hit that makes any potential deal a non-starter and discuss why the idea was ludicrous from the beginning.

From there, the conversation pivots to the bigger picture for the 2 -6 Browns. Is a full-scale rebuild the answer? The hosts discuss why a "tank" is not a viable option in the NFL and how the team is currently straddling two timelines, trying to win with a veteran core while simultaneously building a new foundation with a promising rookie class featuring players like Quinshon Judkins, Mason Graham and Carson Schwesinger.

Ultimately, the path forward hinges on one position: quarterback. They explore the immense challenge of identifying and developing a franchise QB, the importance of having a plan and sticking to it and how the current offensive woes, from the quarterback play to the receiving corps, impact the team's ability to evaluate their young talent.

It's a deep dive into the state of the Browns and what comes next.
