As reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Pittsburgh Steelers rival defender Myles Garrett has officially requested a trade after eight seasons with the team, expressing a desire to compete for a Super Bowl.
Much like Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt in Pittsburgh (but you’ll never see them demand a trade), it’s evident a Super Bowl won’t happen for Garrett in Cleveland.
Despite the Feb. 3 request, Browns general manager Andrew Berry has previously said he won’t trade Garrett, stating that the team wants him to retire in Cleveland and is not interested in trading him, even for substantial compensation.
Garrett, 29, is under contract through the 2026 season, with significant salary-cap implications for the Browns in the coming years. His departure would mark a significant shift for the franchise, which has struggled to achieve consistent success during his tenure.
