NFL Trade Rumors
Browns GM Andrew Berry commented on the status of CB Denzel Ward following the trade of DE Myles Garrett, noting that he likes Ward, which leads some fans to believe Ward could end up traded, given that Berry had made similar comments about Garrett.
“So, I’d say No. 1, I think it’s probably most appropriate for Denzel to speak for himself,” Berry said in his press conference, via Pro Football Talk. “No. 2, Denzel’s been great throughout the offseason. His communication’s been good. He’s a big part of the team, and we like him a lot. He’s still playing at a really high level. That doesn’t change with this transaction. [C]hange is commonplace in the NFL and roster turnover is commonplace in the NFL. You know, we have good communication with all of our players. You know, obviously for a move of this magnitude, we communicate directly with them. So, they hear it from us and they understand everything that’s involved. But we have a good group of guys in that locker room, and we’re really excited about the core.”
During his rookie year, Ravens DE Mike Green didn’t believe the veterans who told him his rookie year would be the toughest of his career. Green completely understands their warning a year later, as he feels everything has slowed down after “the longest year of [his] life.”
“When they say your rookie year is the longest year of your life, that is no over exaggerating,” Green said, via The Lounge podcast. “It is the longest year of your life… I think coming into this second year, things are starting to slow down for me a lot more. I’m getting a lot better feel for a lot of things.”
