Cleveland Browns star edge rusher Myles Garrett has confirmed recent NFL rumors, publicly requesting a trade to join a Super Bowl contender for the 2025 season. Although the Browns have been firm in their stance of not trading Garrett, there’s speculation that an attractive trade offer could change their minds.

Garrett, who is approaching his 29th birthday, has been one of the league’s most dominant defensive players and made history as the fourth-fastest player to reach 100 career sacks. He’s expressed a desire to leave the Browns and join a team like the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, or Buffalo Bills.

According to reports from NFL insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, the Browns would likely demand at least two high-quality picks in exchange for Garrett. These picks would likely include a first-round selection, with another high-level pick possibly involved. Teams in need of a pass rusher would need to offer a package that includes premium draft capital, although Garrett’s desire for a contract extension could complicate things. The edge defender is looking for a contract that could make him one of the highest-paid players in the NFL, potentially nearing $40 million per year.

Despite Cleveland’s resistance to trade Garrett, several teams are expected to reach out this offseason, and the situation could stretch until just before the 2025 NFL Draft, where the Browns may finally receive an offer too good to refuse.
