Browns Make Final Call on Trading Myles Garrett With 2-Word Message
Trade rumors are buzzing about Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett but the team has no intentions of moving their future Hall of Fame pass-rusher.
Garrett is coming off a record-setting, five-sack performance against the New England Patriots, which came in a 32-13 loss. He’s tied for the league lead with 10 this season.
Garrett is among the favorites for Defensive Player of the Year and is a certified game-wrecker. It’s made him a popular name in trade chatter with the Browns struggling. However, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter poured cold water on the idea of Garrett being moved.
“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,'” Schefter wrote on X. “Source added: ‘People have a better chance of winning the lottery.'”

Browns Star Myles Garrett Frustrated After 2-6 Start
Garrett demanded a trade this offseason, stating he wants to play for a contender and did not feel on the same page with the Browns for the immediate future. However, Garrett eventually agreed to a four-year, $160 million extension, keeping him in Cleveland through the 2030 season.
His bank account might be thriving, but Garrett’s patience is wearing thin. He’s shown visible frustration several times this season — even slamming his helmet on the sideline during Sunday’s loss to the Patriots. The star pass rusher hasn’t held back when discussing Cleveland’s 2-6 start, voicing his disappointment.
“I’m frustrated,” he said after the Browns’ latest loss. “I want to win. I don’t care how much time is on the clock. They’ve got their starters in. There’s a chance we can win. I want to be a part of that.
“I don’t care how dire the situation looks, I want to try to make something happen. So I hate coming out of those situations. I hate that kind of inevitability and not being able to do anything about it. I want to win and I’ll do anything.”
Browns Shopping Other Players on Defense
The Browns will likely be sellers ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline. One player Cleveland appears willing to move is safety Rayshawn Jenkins, per Jordan Schultz.
“The Browns are open to trading veteran safety and special-teamer Rayshawn Jenkins,” Schultz wrote on X. “The nine-year vet has appeared in every game this season, recording 21 tackles, 1 interception, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 pass defensed. He also the leads the league in special teams total tackles.”
The Browns have been active with trades this season. Most recently, the Browns sent quarterback Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals for a late-round pick and sent former first-round cornerback Greg Newsome to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Browns got back cornerback Tyson Campbell and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick in the deal with the Jags.
Other notable names floated as potential trade chips include tight end David Njoku, guard Wyatt Teller, and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.
With their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, the Browns need to start shifting focus toward the future. Cleveland holds two first-round picks in next year’s draft.
The Raiders' Handling of Jakobi Meyers Has Caused a Stir
The Las Vegas Raiders must figure out what, if anything, to do with their top wide receiver, Jakobi Meyers.
Raiders Fumble Meyers Situation
Meyers requested a trade shortly before the season, but the Raiders turned him down. He restated the same desire heading into the Bye Week. Now, the Raiders have less than a week to decide. Raiders legend Lincoln Kennedy is not fond of how the Raiders have handled the whole thing.
“The situation with Jakobi is mishandled in many ways, because if they could have found a way to make it work, here is a receiver who’s already established himself as a receiver and can grow into this offense and be more productive if allowed,” Kennedy said on the Locked On Raiders podcast.
“We’ve seen flashes of it. We haven’t seen consistency, but we saw flashes of it… If we’re going to part ways with him, we’re really starting over again, and this goes back to my original point that I’ve been saying all year. You can’t keep starting over. You can’t keep starting over with new coaches and new players and expect to get anywhere because it just doesn’t happen overnight. You don’t walk onto the field and be like, ‘Oh, there’s my new number one.
“Because this offense hasn’t been consistent throughout the season, we’re still left holding whatever we’re holding in our hands, hoping that we can grip on and maybe get a win or get a collective offense. I don’t know how it happens overnight. That’s why I said this whole Jakobi Meyers thing has just been handled, really handled not well, in my opinion.”
The Raiders must make a decision soon on Meyers' future with the team as the trade deadline is fast approaching. Whether they keep Meyers or not, the addition of veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett should help compensate for the loss of Meyers.
If the Raiders keep Meyers past the deadline, they will then have him, Lockett, and a healthier Brock Bowers in the mix moving forward. Still, Carroll noted it is too soon to make any assumptions.
"I'm going to need more days, as far as immediately, how much he can help. But he's a tremendous football player. He's got great background, great savvy play-making ability, a real natural sense about understanding how to play the game,” Carroll said.
“He and Brock [Bowers] and Jakobi [Meyers] share a lot of characteristics in how they play the game and how they make things happen and make it look effortless at times. And so, [Tyler] Lockett has been a great performer historically, and I'm thrilled to have him part of the program. I want to see how fast we can move the thing along, see if he can contribute."
