Myles Garrett Says Goodbye to Cleveland Browns and Fans After Rams Trade
It is not always easy saying goodbye. Especially, after you have put down roots somewhere for close to a decade. However, this defensive powerhouse could not leave without thanking all those that supported for nine years. On Monday, Myles Garrett said goodbye to the Cleveland Browns and fans after his Los Angeles Rams trade.
Sometimes it can be hard to find the right words. But Garrett gave it go with a heartfelt letter addressed to Cleveland, Northwest Ohio and all Browns fans. In the official statement Myles says,
“To Cleveland, Northeast Ohio, and every Browns fan,
Nine years.
It’s hard to put into words what that really means when so much of your life has been shaped in one place, around one team, and with one community behind you.
From my very first play you embraced me, and I wanted to help bring winning back to a city whose loyalty, resilience, and belief never wavered.
What I didn’t fully understand then was how much this city would shape me.
Cleveland made me tougher. You challenged me. You taught me about perseverance, about showing up even when things aren’t easy, and what loyalty really looks like. Through the highs, lows, setbacks, injuries, expectations, inclement weather, and difficult seasons, you all kept showing up.
I never took that for granted.
To the Dawg Pound–thank you for embracing my family and I from Day One. Thank you for every packed stadium, every moment of belief, every kid wearing my jersey, every message, every criticism, every expectation. I respected that then and I respect it now. I wish I could have done more for you.
To the Haslam family, Andrew Berry, my teammates, coaches, training staff, front office, and everyone inside the building in Berea–thank you. Football is the ultimate team sport, and I’ll always be grateful for the brothers I went to battle with and the people behind the scenes who pour themselves into this organization every single day.
To Northeast Ohio–thank you for allowing me to be part of this community beyond football. Through school visits, foundation work, events, and simply living life here, I saw firsthand the heart of this place. No matter where life or football takes me, this will always be a place I’m proud to call home.
What I can say with complete honesty is this: I gave this city everything I had. I suited up and wore those colors with pride, and I don’t regret a second of being part of this storied franchise. Every Sunday. Every offseason. Every play. Every down. Every moment. You gave me more in return than I can ever repay.
The best days for this franchise are ahead. Thank you for letting me grow here. Thank you for believing in
Loving you is easy, leaving you is the hard part.
Thank you for nine unforgettable years.”
Myles Garrett Says Goodbye to Cleveland Browns and Fans After Rams Trade
The Browns finalized a trade to send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.
According to Schefter, “The Rams interest in Myles Garrett was sparked shortly after the Browns modified the contract of the seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end in March. Pushing back the options bonuses from the 15th day of the league year in March to seven days before the start of the regular season, making it easier to trade him. And now the trade is happening.”
