It was a move that shocked many in the NFL. Garrett had previously made it clear that he wanted out of Cleveland via trade.
Today, Garrett was called out on those comments.

According to ML Football on Twitter (X):
JUST IN: Myles Garrett says he stayed with the#Browns because of winning and not because of money.
“I think the fans will see my heart is in the right place. It’s never been about money. It’s always been about winning.”
Garrett claims his only priority is winning, not money.
