Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry reportedly has no plans to trade the team's star pass rusher, Myles Garrett, according to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot.
“Myles is a career Brown,” Berry said at the NFL's owners meetings on Sunday. “He’s one of the faces of our organization. I think we’ve been very clear both past and present about our goals. I understand all the questions. I’ll be honest, I don’t really want to waste a ton more breath on the topic.”
Questions about Garrett's future in Cleveland reemerged after the Browns restructured his contract on Wednesday. The option bonuses in Garrett's contract for 2026, 2027 and 2028 have been moved from March 25th to seven days before the regular season each year to give the team financial flexibility and cap space.

While the Browns continue to express disinterest in trading the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, this is the second straight offseason with rumors about Garrett being moved. Last offseason, the Browns extended Garrett after his initial trade request to be traded to a Super Bowl contender.
The 30-year-old defensive end had another strong season last year, finishing with 60 tackles and breaking the NFL single-season sack record with 23 to earn his second Defensive Player of the Year award.
Despite Garrett's performance, the team finished 5-12 and missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season. This offseason, the Browns fired former head coach Kevin Stefanski and brought in Todd Monken to replace him.
