"I think he basically said if you want me and our defense back you have to hire me as head coach, he thought that was his leverage... The Browns called his bluff."

I didn't think the Browns would or should trade Myles Garrett. If they were going to, needed to get a young edge rusher in return.
The Rams' Jared Verse fits that bill. First-rounder in 2024 had 7.5 sacks and 27 QB hits last season.
Few Browns notes on Myles Garrett trade from @SportsCenter
*Browns' desire for a young, ascending pass rusher (and Jared Verse, specifically), shrunk candidate pool. Per team source, this was a Rams-specific deal because Rams 'hounded' CLE for a while.
*Myles Garrett did not request a trade similar to last offseason. Team made deal because due to the trade value.
*Don't sense this is a fire sale. Was told a hard no on Denzel Ward's availability, for example.
Myles Garrett:
Best defensive player in franchise history.
Good, kind person.
Didn’t want to be in Cleveland anymore.
Not much of a “team” guy, not good for the young culture or the locker room.
Wasn’t the kind of leader the Browns wanted him to be.
It was time.

I figured when it happened but history was set in motion when the 76ers beat the Celtics. Meanwhile Raptors take Cavs to 7 games. Don’t get me wrong, Cavs don’t beat Knicks regardless but it wouldn’t be embarrassment!
Allen misses free throw 94-82, crowd starts to really get into it, Brunson hits to make it a 10 point game with 4:45 left in the game, 13-1 Knicks run. Atkinson must call a time out there. I mean he called one in the third quarter to avoid 8 second violation. #LetEmKnow
Knowing the result and watching 2nd half back it's unbelievable to see Donovan Mitchell have the third quarter he had with 29 points overall and a 22 point lead and then not a factor the rest of the way #LetEmKnow
