Myles Garrett made headlines on Super Bowl week when he publicly declared that he had requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns. While the Browns were already aware of Garrett’s desire to leave, his public statement added fuel to the fire, coinciding with his appearance at the Pro Bowl.
As part of the Super Bowl festivities, players make their rounds on “Radio Row,” where they chat with various media outlets. Garrett’s trade request naturally drew extra attention during his interviews, especially when he discussed it in-depth with Rich Eisen. He confirmed his request to leave Cleveland but kept things rather vague in terms of his future plans, offering insight into his situation without diving deep into specifics.
At one point, Garrett was briefly approached by Dave Birkett from the Detroit Free Press, who asked him about the possibility of playing for the Lions. Garrett responded with a succinct but intriguing answer: “Not yet.” This brief response left the door open for speculation, suggesting that Garrett might be open to the idea but hasn’t fully considered it yet.
While Garrett acknowledged he doesn’t have much influence over where he’ll be traded (as he lacks a no-trade clause), he expressed hope that a resolution could be reached with the Browns. Although Garrett didn’t directly address the Lions as a potential destination, it’s possible they are on his radar as he considers his next move.
