The Super Bowl is front and center, but Myles Garrett is trying to steal some of the shine from the blockbuster Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis trade.
According to Adam Schefter, the Browns All-World pass rusher has requested a trade out of Cleveland.

Garrett has two years remaining on the five year, $125 million contract extension he signed with the Browns, but has no guaranteed money left on the deal, and five void years on the deal.
Garrett, 29, is the reigning AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and is coming off his seventh straight double-digit sack season, including four straight with 14 or more. He has earned five straight Pro Bowl bids, has four career first-team All-Pro honors, and is regarded as the top defensive player in football.
Browns general manager Andrew Berry said last week, “You can put that on the record,” that he wasn’t interested in trading Garrett, even for two first-round picks. Berry indicated the franchise wanted to sign Garrett to an extension.

Teams, of course, will call on a superstar in his prime. https://t.co/bCMaTNIvNc
