The defensive player of the year 2023 AP and the four times All-Pro issued a statement earlier this month, saying that he wanted to play for a contender.
However, earlier this week, the general manager of the Browns, Andrew Berry, insisted that the team is not interested in exchanging the defensive end Star.
“We cannot imagine a situation in which not having Myles is better for the Browns,” Berry said Tuesday at NFL Combine.

Chief coach Kevin Stefanski added on Wednesday that Garrett was part of the “present” and the “future.”
Garrett is under contract with the Browns for two more seasons under an extension of five years and $ 125 million that he signed in 2020. However, he has no remaining guaranteed money.
The Browns come from a 3-14 season, their worst from a 0-16 campaign in 2017, Garrett’s new year. Field Marshal Deshaun Watson fought powerfully in 2024 and the Achilles broke to end its season prematurely. Then he underwent surgery in his right Achilles in January, doubting his availability for the 2025 season.

Garrett has reached the playoffs twice in his eight -year career. He has had two digit captures in seven consecutive seasons, and more than 14 in each of his last four.
