Myles Garrett, Browns reach agreement on contract extension after trade request: report

If Garrett plays through the entire contract extension, he would wear a Browns uniform through the 2030 season. Sources told ESPN that a no-trade clause was written into the new contract. 

In a statement announcing his trade request, Garrett said he preferred to land with a contender next season. "The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl," he said.

Garrett later doubled down on those sentiments and concluded they were not "aligned" with the direction of the franchise.

"I have a lot of love for Cleveland, but it's always for me been about [competing] for championships, winning those big games and winning Lombardis," Garrett told NFL Network in February. "We haven't had the opportunity to do that. That's all I'm asking for."

The Browns finished last season with a 3-14 record.

The Browns' brass was adamant that they would not trade the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Head coach Kevin Stefanski previously said Garrett is "part of the present. He's part of the future."
