Myles Garrett's trade availability continues to exist in the news cycle, but the Browns remain adamant they aren't moving him.
Browns general manager Andrew Berry spoke to reporters during the NFL's Annual Meeting on Sunday in Phoenix, dispelling rumors Cleveland made an adjustment to Garrett's contract with the goal of trading him.
"If we wanted to trade Myles, we wouldn't have needed to make a contract adjustment," Berry said, via ESPN. "So it doesn't have anything to do with that."
Berry's front office recently adjusted Garrett's four-year, $160 million contract he initially signed in March of 2025, inspiring fresh rumblings he might be headed elsewhere in 2026. The rumors were familiar to those who remember Garrett staking a very public position in early 2025 that included a trade demand and cited a desire to pursue Super Bowls -- likely an unrealistic goal currently for the Browns -- in the final years of his career. That standoff ended when Cleveland made Garrett' the highest-paid edge rusher in the NFL while opening the door for critics to summarize any future discontent simply: Garrett got paid and has to deal with the consequences that come with his lucrative salary.
This time around, Garrett hasn't gone public with any fresh desires to play elsewhere. But Cleveland's decision to adjust Garrett's contract -- and its proposal to expand draft pick trading windows from three to five years into the future -- led many to surmise a Garrett trade was looming.
Berry shut that down firmly Sunday.
"Myles is a career Brown," Berry said. "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. I understand all the questions. I'll be honest, I don't really want to waste a ton more breath on the topic."
