Myles Garrett requests Browns trade after GM’s vow to keep him
NY Post
Myles Garrett doesn’t envision his NFL future in Cleveland.
The former first-overall pick, 29, publicly requested a trade from the Browns on Monday, days after general manager Andrew Berry said he isn’t open to trading the star defensive end.
“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 fan base 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,” Garrett said in a statement shared on social media.
“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 requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns.”
Garrett’s request Monday reiterated comments made by Berry, who stated in January, “We feel really good about Myles obviously as a big piece of our future. We’re looking forward to him being on the field. Like I said in my (early January) press conference, we envision him going from Cleveland to Canton when his career is over.”
The Browns’ No. 1 overall pick in 2017, Garrett has long been a dominant force in the league, earning six Pro Bowl nods over the past eight seasons and four First-team All-Pro selections, including recognition this past year.
