Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has requested a trade, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. In a statement shared by Rapoport, Garrett said that his desire to win a Super Bowl was driving his decision to leave.
“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,” Garrett wrote.
Garrett added that he cared more about winning a championship than about becoming an NFL Hall of Famer.
“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,” he said.
Garrett, a six-time Pro Bowler and the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, is coming off another excellent season with Cleveland, recording 14 sacks and a career-high 40 solo tackles.
Garrett has spent his entire eight-year career with the Browns since being drafted first overall out of Texas A&M in 2017. He has recorded double-digit sacks in all but his rookie year.
