Star DE Myles Garrett requests Browns trade him to contender
Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett has requested that the Cleveland Browns trade him.
In a statement posted Monday, Garrett cited his desire to win a Super Bowl for wanting to be traded.
“As a kid dreaming of the NFL, all I focused on was the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl — and that goal fuels me today more than ever. My love for the community of Northeast Ohio and the incredible fanbase of the Cleveland Browns has made this one of the toughest decisions of my life. These past eight years have shaped me into the man that I am today.
“While I’ve loved calling this city my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won’t allow me to be complacent. The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl. With that in mind, I have a requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns.”
The Browns finished 3-14 this season, last place in the AFC North.
Garrett’s trade request comes after general manager Andrew Berry told reporters at the Senior Bowl that he would not trade Garrett this offseason.
Garrett, 29, has two years remaining on the five-year, $125 million extension he signed in 2020.
This season, Garrett recorded 14 sacks for the second consecutive year. He is a finalist for the Defensive Player of the Year award again this season.
In a surprising turn of events, star defensive end Myles Garrett has reportedly requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns to a contender. The former number one overall pick is seeking to join a team with a legitimate shot at winning a Super Bowl, according to sources close to the situation.
Garrett, who has been a dominant force on the Browns’ defense since entering the league in 2017, is said to be frustrated with the team’s lack of success and is eager to compete for a championship. Despite his individual success, including multiple Pro Bowl selections and a league-leading 16 sacks in 2018, Garrett has yet to experience playoff success with the Browns.
While it remains to be seen which teams may be interested in acquiring Garrett, his talent and ability to disrupt opposing offenses make him a valuable asset for any team looking to bolster their defense. It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and where Garrett ultimately ends up playing next season. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
