Within minutes of reports surfacing that the Browns were finalizing a blockbuster trade involving the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, social media users had already settled on a theory.
According to many fans, Olympic snowboarding superstar Chloe Kim deserves at least some of the credit.
Kim, who has been dating Garrett since 2025, is a Los Angeles native. Naturally, that was all the evidence some fans needed.
"Chloe Kim, I can't prove it, but I know you had something to do with this," one fan joked on X.
Another simply declared, "Chloe Kim is responsible for this."
Others teased that the writing had been on the wall ever since the couple made their relationship public.
"The second the Chloe Kim news dropped they should've known he'd be in LA," one fan posted.
Of course, there is zero evidence Kim had anything to do with the trade.
Still, that didn't stop fans from having some fun with the situation.
Many pointed out that Garrett will now be playing in Kim's hometown while joining a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Others suggested the move works out pretty well for both sides of the relationship.
"Good for him and Chloe Kim," one fan wrote. "She gonna be a lot happier in LA."
Garrett and Kim first sparked dating rumors in 2025 before gradually becoming one of sports' most talked-about couples. In recent months, the pair have appeared together publicly on multiple occasions, including the Time 100 Gala in April.
Neither Garrett nor Kim has commented publicly on the reported trade.
Still, if social media is to be believed, plenty of fans are convinced the Olympic gold medalist deserves an assist on one of the NFL's biggest moves of the offseason.
Whether that's true or not, the internet seems to have already reached its verdict.
