The Cleveland Browns are in crisis mode after franchise star Myles Garrett reportedly requested a trade. The All-Pro defensive end, a cornerstone of the team’s defense, has signaled his desire to move on, citing the Browns’ struggles to become a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
Garrett’s Trade Request Stuns Browns Fans
Reports suggest Garrett has been exploring options, with sources linking him to teams like the Detroit Lions. His interactions with key Lions figures during the NFL Honors event have only fueled speculation. While nothing is official yet, the possibility of Cleveland losing one of its greatest defensive players has sent shockwaves through the organization and fanbase.
Browns Determined to Keep Their Star
In response to the rumors, sources within the Browns organization have stated that the team is committed to keeping Garrett at all costs. “We will do everything in our power to make sure Myles remains a Cleveland Brown,” an anonymous team executive told Dawgs by Nature. “He’s not just a player; he’s a leader, and we are working on ways to assure him that we are serious about contending for a championship.”
Contract and Roster Moves on the Table
The Browns are reportedly evaluating major roster and contract adjustments to demonstrate their commitment to winning. One possible move includes restructuring quarterback Deshaun Watson’s massive contract to free up cap space for elite additions in free agency.
Additionally, the front office is aggressively scouting quarterbacks, with names like Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward, and Kirk Cousins circulating in discussions. This signals a push to improve offensive efficiency, which has been a major concern for Garrett.
What’s Next?
If Garrett remains firm in his stance, the Browns could be forced to explore trade options, with multiple teams likely to make strong offers. However, Cleveland is expected to present an aggressive plan in the coming weeks to keep him on board.
For now, Browns fans can only hope that the franchise lives up to its promise to “do everything possible” to convince Garrett to stay.
