The Cleveland Browns are reportedly refusing to entertain trade offers for star defensive end Myles Garrett, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Despite reports of a trade request from the former Defensive Player of the Year, the organization remains firm in its stance to keep the franchise cornerstone in Cleveland.
Per @RapSheet, the Browns have been "adamant" that they are not trading Garrett, rebuffing inquiries from teams across the league. This development follows news that Garrett has expressed a desire to move on from the team that drafted him first overall in 2017. The organization is currently rebuffing all trade inquiries rather than actively seeking a deal, maintaining that their star pass rusher is not available.
Myles Garrett, a multi-time All-Pro and one of the most dominant defenders in the NFL, remains under contract with the Browns. While the trade request has created significant tension, the front office has signaled no intention of moving their defensive leader at this time. The situation remains a standoff between the player's camp and the Cleveland front office as the offseason progresses.
