Andrew Berry Breaks Silence on Myles Garrett’s Shocking Meeting with Browns Leadership”

When Myles Garrett revealed he planned to meet with the Cleveland Browns’ leadership to discuss his future with the team, it sparked significant speculation across the NFL. Would Garrett request a trade if dissatisfied with the meeting? Could he leverage his influence to push for changes aimed at making the team more competitive?

Following the Browns’ Week 18 loss, General Manager Andrew Berry addressed these concerns during his final media availability of the 2024 NFL season. Naturally, questions about Garrett’s future and the team’s plans came up, and Berry’s responses shed light on the situation.

Berry expressed confidence in Garrett’s long-term presence in Cleveland, stating, “My expectation is that Myles will have a direct ticket from Cleveland to Canton at the end of his career. I fully expect him to retire as a Brown.” He also emphasized the team’s commitment to winning, adding, “Our goal is always to improve and build a team capable of sustained success—not just a one-year blip.”

Berry referenced the rapid turnaround of other NFL teams as proof of how quickly fortunes can change, saying, “Last year’s second-overall pick is now playing in the postseason. It’s hard to predict the future, but we’re focused on making decisions that position us for long-term success.”

When asked about Garrett’s approach and how much he was willing to share with the star defensive end, Berry highlighted the importance of open communication. “We’ve always prioritized honest and direct conversations with our players, especially cornerstone talents like Myles,” Berry explained. “He puts everything into winning and is deeply invested in this organization. These discussions are a regular part of how we operate, particularly during the offseason.”

Looking ahead to 2025, questions remain about the Browns’ quarterback situation. Whether they stick with Deshaun Watson, pursue a free agent like Daniel Jones, or draft someone like Cam Ward, the team’s trajectory will be crucial. Regardless of who leads the offense, Garrett’s commitment to winning will make him one of the most invested players in the Browns’ success.
