Browns GM: Myles Garrett contract tweak unrelated to a trade
"If we wanted to trade Myles, we wouldn't have needed to make a contract adjustment. So it doesn't have anything to do with that."
"Myles is a career Brown. He is one of the faces of our organization. I think we've been very clear both past and present in terms of our feelings."
"Garrett was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year last month after setting the NFL's single-season sack record with 23 last season."
"He is the ninth player to win multiple Defensive Player of the Year awards since it was first issued in 1971 and the only active player to do so."
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry clarified that the recent changes to Myles Garrett's contract are unrelated to any trade discussions. The option bonus exercise date was moved to seven days before the regular season, benefiting Garrett. This adjustment could facilitate a trade after June 1 by allowing the dead cap to be divided over two seasons. Berry emphasized that Garrett is a key player for the organization and expressed confidence in their relationship, despite past trade requests.
