Browns Myles Garrett demands to be traded.

You're lying again. I've never liked the nerd hivemind. Depodesta having the power he does is a joke, and we all know how I feel about Stefanski. Why is it so hard for you to tell the truth? Your hatred of me is twisting you into a gruesome caricature of yourself.

No hatred, Bro. Calling it like I see it. You want to blame all our woes on the nerd hivemind. But you were 100% behind their decision to make the worst trade in NFL history, you can't deny it. But now that the trade has been exposed for its utter horribleness, you want to blame everthing in the world but the Watson trade for our problems.

Are you slow? It's ok if you are, I don't mind. I supported the Haslem family and their willingness to do whatever it takes to bring a top 5 QB to this franchise. And I still believe it was the right move at the time. Hindsight is 20/20.

The nerd hivemind however are the ones who convinced Haslem it was safe to trade for Watson and he was good to go.

So they brought him here, he got suspended more than they thought he would, they forced him into an offense he hated and did not understand, and then he got blamed when he couldn't run it.

He did run however, right into injury after injury because he wasn't compatible with the offense and Stefanski was unable to adjust.

So my blame has been consistent, and will remain so.

The fact that the nerd hivemind are still employed is a national disgrace.

It's not hindsight. I called it a disaster from the beginning (so did Nickers). I didn't realize it was going to be this much of a disaster; that is true. And there is no offense that's ever been run that Watson would have succeeded in. He was horrible. He flat out deceived us from day one. I don't think he ever had any desire to play hard for this city and this team -- unlike the guy he replaced. You have to have passion to succeed in the NFL. Watson's off-field issues cost him his.
 
The Deshaun Watson trade had a lot of merit. The uproar about the guarantees was and is dumb. It is not our money. And if he was Houston Watson, no one would have cared. As much as it sucks, Mr. Watson was the best shot we had for a top 5 since Otto. That's 70 years. Or maybe McNabb, in '99.

Our defense is now awful once Myles is gone. Salute him. He gave us 8 years. I hope he wins a Super Bowl. Throughout his time here, we have basically been completely dependent on him. I would be shocked if Stefanski/Berry survive losing a HOF talent like Myles. This was too sudden with no time to recover.
 
If I'm Browns Management, I do not trade him. I beg him for 1 More Year. I literally beg him. We HAVE to make the Playoffs. The Temperature has risen substantially. Hopefully Myles will give us that. It is basically impossible to trade Myles. It would be a multi-year setback.
 
"Hey Siri. When NFL player has multiple years left on theor contract, but no guaranteed money left, what tactic is used in negotiations for new contract?"

Siri: "Often publicly requesting a trade is used to facilitate new contract negotiations."

No begging or pleading is required. Myles has 2 years left on his contract. Unless he is willing to lose money by sitting out games or becoming a major distraction he has zero leverage. He is contractually obligated to play for CLE through the 2026 season.

Can't see him being a major distraction. He's too solid a guy. Fortunately.
 
1. Players have done this before. Duke Johnson. David Njoku. Immediate trades didn’t happen.
2. Watson demanded a trade when in Texas and it took over a year. Of course, there was a lot going on for that one.
3. Browns stood by Myles, without waiver, during his suspension.
4. The Browns celebrate him at every chance possible
5. There’s an element of Myles being about Myles. Most players don’t talk about individual awards. He does. Clowney pointed this out too.
6. So, what’s your plan at QB Myles? You supposedly didn’t like Baker, so we took a (desperate) swing at Watson, and the one part of the deal that didn’t work out was the talent. The concerns, which were baggage and contract, didn’t cause the demise.
7. We’ve been to the playoffs 2 of the last 4 years.
8. You’re vested in the community, and invested in the Cavs.
9. The owner has spent. Despite Browns Twitter saying “Haslam is all about the money”, he’s spent more than any owner. Dolan is the one who doesn’t spend, and is all about his money, not Haslam.
10. Crosby is trade-rumbling too. I get not being on a Super Bowl contender isn’t ideal, but there are only a handful teams who are considered to be such.

Lastly, sorry Myles, edge defenders don’t win championships. QB’s do. Here are the top 20, and none of them are playing this Sunday. Only one played in their conference championship game. So, “trade me to a team who has a QB that’ll win it for me”, is a fairer statement.

He has repeatedly told people it isn't about a new contract. He could be the highest paid defensive player in the NFL tomorrow if that's all he wanted. He doesn't want a new contract, he wants to win.

I wonder if this is what the front office actually wanted. They weren't going to be able to trade him without Garrett publicly demanding one ...at least as far as fan sentiment goes. This gives them a free pass to move him.

I would love to trade him for the right price, but the nerd hivemind being in charge of spending the fruits of that trade is what gives me pause.
