Cleveland Browns star defender Myles Garrett has a new quarterback to torment, and already is looking forward to it.
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal worth a maximum value of $19.5 million. Rodgers, who was linked to Pittsburgh for months on the open market, signed with Pittsburgh just in time for mandatory minicamp this week.
When asked about Rodgers joining his AFC North rival, Garrett had a funny — and scary? — response.
“What do I think about it? I think it’s a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard,” Garrett told reporters, per ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi.
Garrett had a literal quarterback graveyard outside his home before Halloween in 2021. At the time, it included division rivals Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, among others.

Ironically, Garrett and the Browns are scheduled to face Rodgers and the Steelers in mid-October. So if the All-Pro defensive end wants to add a headstone, he’ll have an opportunity to do so.
