Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett shocked the NFL world when he requested a trade from the team. The request left the football world reeling, and now Garrett himself has addressed the request.
Garrett joined Rich Eisen on “The Rich Eisen Show” ahead of Super Bowl LIX, where he spoke out about his reasons behind requesting a trade from the Browns.
“Just felt it was time, you know. I had taken my time after the season, you know, kind of relaxed and decompressed emotionally, wanted to distance myself a little bit and spend a little time talking to my family about, you know, really how we’d feel about this decision.
And I mean, I’d kind of felt this way, I wanted to make sure I was completely detached and they felt the same way I did. And I feel like everyone’s kind of on the same page and felt like it was time to at least speak on something that was near and dear to my heart.
And, you know, I have a lot of love for Cleveland, but you know, it’s always for me been about contending for championships, winning those big games, and winning Lombardis, you know.
We haven’t had the opportunity to do that, and that’s that’s all I’m asking for.”
