NFL rumors will fly as Myles Garrett publicly shares his trade from Browns request
There is never a dull moment for the Cleveland Browns or their fans and rarely are those moments positive. After making it clear at the end of the 2024 NFL season that he did not want to be a part of a rebuild, DE Myles Garrett has made public his request to be traded.
The timing is interesting as Browns GM Andrew Berry shared last week that the team had no intention of trading Garrett or taking phone calls about making a deal for their best defender. In the middle of January, Garrett spoke about the future with Cleveland as if he had bought into the plan after talking with Berry.
Now, with a few weeks until the NFL combine kicks off, Garrett made his request known in writing:

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year has two years remaining on his contract and, backing up what Berry said recently, the team still has no plans to trade him:

Near the trade deadline, it was suggested that the Detroit Lions make a major offer (multiple draft picks and RB Jahmyr Gibbs for Garrett. While that trade is unlikely, rumors will swirl about what the Browns could get for Garrett in a deal.
The team has quickly responded to the trade request:
