“I’m willing to do whatever it takes,” Garrett said. “I want to have a chance to win those big games, to go out there and compete, to elevate a team as a player, as a teammate, as a leader, and just come in and have an immediate effect.”

Pro Hall of Fame offensive tackle and longtime Cleveland Browns icon Joe Thomas took to Twitter to discuss the recent trade request of star defensive end Myles Garrett.

Things feel very uncertain for the Cleveland Browns right now and what their future looks like. A lot of that lingers around what is going to happen with superstar DE Myles Garrett. Garrett has requested a trade from the Browns and wants to land with a contender.

In his eight years with the Browns, who made him the first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Garrett has played 117 games, made 116 tackles for losses, with 102 sacks, four first-team All-Pro selections, and one defensive player of the year award.

With the Browns finishing 3-14, Garrett — who rocked the NFL world this week by asking the Browns to trade him — had little chance to defend his NFL Defensive Player of the Year crown, which was announced Thursday night at the NFL Honors show here.

Even though Myles Garrett has formally requested a trade, moving on from their star edge rusher is not the most important trade the Cleveland Browns need to make this offseason. They need to move back from the No.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini and Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer are among those who have pointed out since Garrett went public with his trade request on Feb. 3 that the club is willing to play "hardball" and likely won't agree to any Garrett-related trade before the new league year opens on March 12.
