Garrett, the defensive side of the sixth inning Pro Bowl, revealed in his public trade demands, aiming for the Super Bowl.
“I loved calling this city my home, but my desire to win and compete at the biggest stage is not enough for me. The goal was not to go from Cleveland Canton, but to always compete and win the Super Bowl. With that in mind, I demanded that I trade from the Cleveland Browns,” the 29-year-old in a statement.
The Eagles report on Friday is behind a new twist on the saga, with Cleveland.com reporting on Thursday that Garrett and his camp “stopped the door in negotiations.”
Browns general manager Andrew Berry claims the club is not interested in trading the 2023 defensive player of the year.
The Browns ended the 2024 season 3-14 and missed the playoffs. They hold the second overall pick in this year’s draft and could potentially acquire a quarterback as incumbent Desshaun Watson recovers from Achilles’ injury.
Watson had surgery in January after ruptured the tendon again. He shed Achilles’ tears in October.
Garrett said in December that he was “not trying to rebuild” and told ESPN “we’re trying to beat it right now.”
The Browns overall selected Garrett No. 1 in the 2017 NFL Draft.
