In a stunning move, All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett has requested a trade after eight seasons with the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old star, known for his dominant pass-rushing ability, made his request clear in a message sent to Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp, following reports that the Lions had expressed interest in acquiring the veteran player.
Garrett, who has been with the Browns since they selected him with the first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, has built a reputation as one of the league’s top defensive players. Over his career, Garrett has amassed over 90 sacks, earning multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. His departure would mark a major shift for Cleveland’s defense, which has relied heavily on his pass-rushing prowess.
The defensive end’s desire to move on from the Browns comes amid growing speculation about his future with the team. Despite Garrett’s individual success, the Browns have failed to find consistent success in the postseason. His trade request signals a potential end to his time with Cleveland, leaving fans and analysts wondering about his next destination.
In his message to Ford Hamp, Garrett did not specify his reasons for the trade request but acknowledged the Lions’ interest and hinted at his willingness to consider Detroit as a new home. The Lions, in search of bolstering their defense after a promising 2024 season, are reportedly ready to make a push for the All-Pro, but negotiations remain ongoing.
As the NFL offseason unfolds, all eyes are now on Garrett’s future and whether the Browns will grant his request or work to mend the relationship.
