Veteran Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has been rumored to be a trade candidate ahead of the trade deadline. The Browns' 2-6 record this season has fueled the rumors.

Garett, who has been with the team since 2017, requested a trade in the offseason. However, the 29-year-old signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the team in March.

According to the Athletic's Diana Russini, teams have enquired about the six-time Pro Bowler, but the Browns are not interested in trading him.

“Myles Garrett is not getting traded, I'm told,” Russini wrote on X. “Teams have checked in, but as one high-ranking source texted: ‘He's a Brown and will remain a Brown.'”

Garett requested a trade in February, citing the team's consecutive losing seasons. However, the team is heading for another losing season. The veteran defensive end is under contract through the 2029 season and his $123.5 million guaranteed is a big hurdle in any potential trade.

NFL insider claims "no chance" of Myles Garrett being traded amid the Browns' underwhelming season

Despite the Browns' struggles this season, Myles Garrett has been one of the most consistent players for the franchise. He broke his own record with five sacks against the New England Patriots last Sunday. The record-breaking game took his sack tally to 10 for the season, reaching the mark for an eighth consecutive season.

ESPN's Adam Schefter dismissed speculations around Garrett's future with the Browns, reporting that there is "no chance" the 29-year-old gets traded. He wrote on X:

"For those wondering if the Browns would consider trading Myles Garrett by Tuesday’s deadline, the answer is, in the words of one source, 'No chance.' Source added: 'People have a better chance of winning the lottery.'"

The Browns are 2-6 for the season and are unlikely to have a shot at the playoffs in the remaining slate of fixtures. The drama surrounding their quarterback room, including rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, hasn't helped the team's cause either.

Following their ongoing bye week, they will be up against a struggling New York Jets at MetLife Stadium next Sunday.
