Myles Garrett has requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns. The star pass rusher announced his request in a statement on Monday, acknowledging his admiration for Cleveland but emphasizing his desire to win a Super Bowl.
"As a kid dreaming of the NFL, all I focused on was the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl -- and that goal fuels me today more than ever," Garrett said in a statement, via NFL.com. "My love for the community of Northeast Ohio and the incredible fanbase of the Cleveland Browns has made this one of the toughest decisions of my life. These past eight years have shaped me into the man that I am today.
"While I've loved calling this city my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won't allow me to be complacent. The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl.

Browns say they're not entertaining offers for Garrett, but they should. Team needs to stockpile draft choices having lost so many on the Watson trade. I'd love him in San Francisco, but the 49ers are in a similar boat -- still smarting from the Trey Lance fiasco.
