Deion Sanders Said Myles Garrett Was Worth 'Your Mama, Daddy, Uncle' Until The Trade Actually Happened

Alright, you guys, you are NOT going to believe this one. Prime Time, Deion Sanders himself, just served up a heaping plate of humble pie, or maybe just a serious flip-flop, regarding the Myles Garrett trade. We all know how much Deion loves to talk, right? Well, he had some *very* strong opinions about Garrett just last month, and now that the trade went down, his tune is so different it's like he's singing a whole new song. It's wild, and honestly, it makes you wonder what's going on behind the scenes in the NFL.

Prime Time's Original Take: A "Once In A Lifetime Man"

Before Myles Garrett was actually traded, Deion Sanders was out here practically ready to throw hands if anyone even *suggested* moving the guy. He went on Garrett Bush's show and laid it all out. Deion called Garrett a "killer on defense," said he was "tired of y'all talking about trading him and getting rid of him." He wasn't subtle. Prime Time declared, "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." And then, he dropped the quote that basically broke the internet: "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." Yeah, you read that right. Your entire family tree for Myles Garrett. That's the bar Deion set.

The Trade Went Down, And Suddenly It's All Good?

So, the trade happened. Myles Garrett is gone. And guess what? Deion's not

talking about families anymore. He's talking about being "happy." Seriously. He recently chatted with D.J. Saddiqi from Covers.com as part of his media tour for a Depend partnership, and the vibe was completely different. Now that it's a done deal, Prime Time is deferring to the decision-makers. "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 said. He even added, "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." Hold up, Deion! This is the same guy who said Garrett was worth a whole family reunion, and now he's "happy with what they got"? Turns out, "what they got" was Jared Verse and a first, second, and third-round pick. So, apparently, those picks and Verse equate to "your mama, daddy, your uncle, cousins, and everybody." Good to know how Prime Time calibrates his trade metrics now, right? It's a head-scratcher, for sure. What does this all mean for the league? Probably that everyone has an opinion until the actual transaction goes down, then it's all about playing nice. With our Seahawks getting ready for another intense season at Lumen Field, we're watching every single move.

Let's get ready for the next game and see what other surprises the league throws our way. Go Hawks!
