The natural feeling around the Myles Garrett and Cleveland Browns situation is that something is up. Myles campaigned pretty hard to have Jim Schwartz be named the head coach. He hasn't talked to Todd Monken face-to-face, and the Browns restructured his contract in the dead of the night.
The stars are aligning, and there is absolutely a weird tension surrounding the situation between the Browns and their star player.
At the same time, Browns general manager Andrew Berry quadrupled down to say that Myles is going to be a career Brown and he will again from Cleveland to Canton.
The more that things continue to come out, the more that Berry's comments seem to be a facade, as the Browns are posturing to move their elite pass rusher at some point either before or during the season.
Unfortunately, this is hardly a surprise. If we go back one offseason to when Garrett requested a trade from the Browns and the bellied up to the table to pay him the most lucrative (and hard to move) contract in NFL history. What a perfect lesson that money doesn't solve everything, as Cleveland went from a three-win team to a five-win team, and Garrett wasted another year of his prime.
The truth of the matter is that a trade of Garrett would actually make a ton of sense. The 2025 season was a perfect example of this as Garrett set the single-game sack record in a 30-point loss against New England, and he set the single-season sack record in a season where Cleveland won just five games.
On Friday's episode of Get Up on ESPN, NFL analyst Kevin Clark had his "Windhorst Fingers" up as he evaluated the situation. Something is definitely up in Cleveland, and the end of Garrett's time in Cleveland seems to be closer to the end than it has ever been.
If Cleveland were to make Garrett available, there would be 31 teams that would be interested in him. Cleveland's negotiations would start with three first-round picks, and the bidding war begins there. Still in his 20s, Garrett is squarely in his prime, and his addition to a contender has the power to push any team over the top.
Cleveland's offseason program pushes on, without Garrett, as the team's journey to the 2026-27 season is underway.
