Cleveland Browns star pass-rusher Myles Garret has requested a trade, he announced Monday.
What makes this interesting is the fact that Browns general manager Andrew Berry said at the Senior Bowl last week the team wouldn’t trade Garrett. With how good of offers the Browns will get, I am sure it is only a matter of time.
“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,” Garrett said in a statement, according to Ian Rapport.
“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 requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns.” He said at the end of his statement.
While it may not happen right away, I’m sure there will be loads of deals offered for Garrett. Garrett, 29, is coming off his seventh straight double-digit sack season, including four straight with 14 or more. He has earned five straight Pro Bowl bids, has four career first-team All-Pro honors and is the winner of last years AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Garrett signed a 5 year, 125 million dollar extension in 2020, leaving two years left on the deal. His contract carries salary-cap hits of $19.7 million and $20.4 million in 2025 and 2026, respectively. Garrett is due a roster bonus worth $5 million on the fifth day of the league year on March 16.
There should be a lot of teams in the market for Myles Garrett.
