AFC North Update: Will Myles Garrett Face a Trade?

Myles Garrett is again the focus of trade speculation after he missed the start of Cleveland’s offseason workouts. The absence reportedly cost him about $1 million in forfeited pay. Garrett is 30 years old and coming off a 23-sack season.

He remains the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. The timing comes as the NFL draft approaches. Fans and analysts are asking questions about his future.

Coach’s response to the absence

First-year head coach Todd Monken described voluntary workouts as optional. He emphasized the value of connection and development. Monken added he expects Garrett to be ready for the season.

Workouts and roster chemistry

Monken stressed the staff must make players want to attend. He noted schematic and bonding benefits. He declined to express concern over Garrett’s decision.

Contract history and franchise stance

Garrett had sought a trade last offseason. He stayed and signed a four-year, $160 million extension to remain in Cleveland. The Browns adjusted that contract this year.

General Manager Andrew Berry told owners the team envisions Garrett staying long term. The organization has publicly called him a franchise cornerstone.

Trade talk vs. likelihood

Rumors resurfaced after Garrett missed the workout date. However, insiders see a trade as unlikely. ESPN analyst Dan Graziano said he doubts Cleveland will entertain trading Garrett.

In an AFC North update, observers still ask: Will Myles Garrett face a trade? For now, most signs point to him staying with the Browns.
