Browns GM says Myles Garrett won’t be traded no matter what the team is offered

Myles Garrett isn’t going anywhere any time soon. Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters at the Senior Bowl that he will not trade Garrett no matter what the team is offered. 

Berry was also asked directly if the Browns would turn down an offer of two first-round picks.

“Correct,” he said, via Cleveland.com. “You can put that on the record.”

Earlier this offseason, Garrett briefly mused about a potential trade that would have him continuing his career elsewhere. A few weeks later, he was singing a different tune. “We’re closer than some may think we are,” he said earlier this month.

With that quote seemingly in mind, Berry said he was open to discussing an extension with Garrett.

“I don’t want to go into contract discussions. I wouldn’t do that publicly,” Berry said. “But I think you can assume that we do anticipate at some point doing a third contract with Myles. We want him to retire here.”

Cleveland is currently more than $30 million over the salary cap for 2025 and needs to start making some cap-clearing moves. Garrett’s base salaries have already been converted into signing bonuses, though, and he also has five void years tacked onto the end of his deal to spread out his cap hits and keep the number down. Still, an extension — or just an entirely new contract — could provide some additional flexibility down the line. 

What Berry wants, though, is for Garrett to stick around for as long as possible.

“We feel really good about Myles obviously as a big piece of our future. We’re looking forward to him being on the field,” he said. “Like I said in my (early January) press conference, we envision him going from Cleveland to Canton when his career is over.”

Cleveland Browns General Manager Andrew Berry has made it clear that star defensive end Myles Garrett is not going anywhere, no matter what offers come their way. Despite rumors swirling around potential trade scenarios, Berry has shut down any possibility of parting ways with the defensive standout.

In a recent statement, Berry emphasized the importance of Garrett to the team’s success, stating, “Myles is a cornerstone of our defense and a key leader in our locker room. He is not only an incredibly talented player, but also a valuable asset to our organization both on and off the field.”

Garrett, who was the number one overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, has been a force to be reckoned with since entering the league. His combination of size, speed, and athleticism has made him one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL, earning him multiple Pro Bowl selections and All-Pro honors.

With Garrett anchoring the Browns’ defense, the team has seen significant improvement in recent years, making a strong push for the playoffs. Berry’s commitment to keeping Garrett in Cleveland demonstrates the team’s dedication to building a championship-caliber roster around their star player.

So, despite any enticing offers that may come their way, it seems that Myles Garrett will remain a Brown for the foreseeable future. Fans can rest assured that their defensive stalwart will continue to wreak havoc on opposing offenses for years to come.
