The Browns will not be trading Myles Garrett.
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.
Josh Allen's Heartfelt Gesture: Paying It Forward to the Diner That Helped Him Dream
In the small town of Corona, California, a gesture of generosity has not only saved a beloved local diner but also brought a tear to the eyes of its owners and customers alike.
Josh Allen, the 29-year-old quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, recently paid $87,000 to save Sunny’s Diner, a family-run establishment that had supported him during his high school years when he needed it most.
Sunny’s Diner, a fixture in the community for decades, had been struggling to stay afloat, burdened by debts from the financial toll of the pandemic and rising operational costs. When Allen, a rising star and one of the Bills' most promising players, learned that the diner was on the verge of closing, he knew he had to act. With no fanfare, Allen quietly wired the money to cover the diner’s debt, ensuring its survival. But his generosity didn’t stop there.
Allen wanted to give something more—a symbolic gesture that captured the essence of what Sunny’s Diner meant to him. When he visited the diner after making the payment, he presented a handmade sign, which now proudly hangs on the wall of the diner. The sign reads:
“A home for those who fueled my dreams every morning.” Maria and Tony Alvarez, the couple who owns the diner, were overwhelmed with emotion when they saw the sign, which Allen had dedicated to the place that had helped him when he was a struggling high school student.
For three years, while attending Firebaugh High School, Allen had visited Sunny’s Diner every morning before school. Coming from a modest background, he relied on the warm hospitality and free breakfasts offered by the Alvarez family. "We saw something special in Josh," Maria Alvarez recalls. "He was always polite, always focused. We just wanted to help him keep going." The kindness of the Alvarezes allowed Allen to focus on his dreams of becoming a professional football player. He would have pancakes, eggs, and a side of encouragement before heading off to school, and the diners' unwavering belief in him fueled his determination on the field.
Now, a major league star, Allen’s act of kindness has come full circle. By saving the diner that helped him rise, he’s not only ensured Sunny’s Diner can continue operating, but he’s also breathed new life into the community staple. The sign, a tribute to the role the diner played in his journey, has become a local point of pride, with many patrons stopping to read it and reflect on Allen’s remarkable gesture. The sign has sparked a wave of support for Sunny’s Diner, with local businesses offering to help, and social media posts flooding platforms with the hashtag #SunnysDiner.
The community has rallied behind the diner, sharing the story of Allen’s selflessness and creating a renewed sense of pride in their local gem. The diner’s Facebook page has seen a surge in engagement, with customers posting photos of their meals and the sign, spreading the heartwarming story of how a football star never forgot the kindness that helped him dream.
Allen’s story is not just about a famous athlete giving back; it’s about the power of small, meaningful acts of kindness. His own journey to success has been marked by his vulnerability, including openly sharing his struggles with mental health and challenges in his career. He has become a beacon of hope for many, not just for his football talent, but for his compassion and willingness to uplift others.
The Alvarezes have expressed their gratitude, not just for the financial relief, but for the renewed sense of purpose that Allen’s gift has given them. "We always thought we were just feeding people," Maria says. "But Josh showed us we were doing more than that. We were helping dreams come true."
As the sign at Sunny’s Diner now stands, it serves as a testament to the profound impact that generosity, both big and small, can have on the lives of others. Allen’s act of paying it forward ensures that the diner will continue to be a place of hope, encouragement, and, most importantly, a home for those who dream.
For Allen, the diner wasn’t just a place to eat—it was a lifeline, a place that believed in his potential when few others did. His return to Sunny’s, not just as a patron, but as a savior, is a full-circle moment in his journey. As customers come and go, they will always remember that this diner isn’t just a place for pancakes and coffee—it’s a place where dreams were fueled, and kindness was returned tenfold.
