NFL Trade Rumors
Browns G Wyatt Teller made it clear that he doesn’t want to leave Ohio and is hopeful for a contract extension that will see him retire with the team.
“I don’t want to leave,” Teller said, via Scott Petrak. “I love it here. My thing is I want to retire a Cleveland Brown, I want to see success, I’ve been here a long time, I know what it took back in 2020, ’21, ’22, ’23 having success. The last two years aren’t us. So I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to lose the fact that we are that close and we are again three plays away from … not being 7-1 but being close, very close.

And again, as bad as the season is viewed or perceived, we’re like two or three plays away from a lot different season.

“I wasn’t concerned about anything involving a trade with me or anybody else on this team,” Garrett said, via Mary Kay Cabot. “I was just focused on feeling better, getting my head in a better space after the week before. I’m trying to find a way to continue to bring it every week.”
Ravens RB Derrick Henry was asked about the return of QB Lamar Jackson and where the team is at this point in the season.
“You know, adversity comes at some point in everybody’s season,” Henry told Greg Auman. *“And unfortunately for us, it came pretty early. We had to keep trusting and believing in each other, knowing that at some point, we’d get rolling, everybody would get back healthy and we’ll be right where we want to be. We’re coming off two wins in a row and a lot to build off. We know it’s not going to...
