Haslam: Garrett 'Best Overall Player', No Trade

0:00On March 30, Cleveland Brown's owner Jimmy Haslam just called Miles Garrett possibly the best overall player in the NFL, not just the top defender. At league meetings in Arizona, he backed up GM Andrew Berry's stance that there's zero chance of trading the star. Garrett shattered the single season sack record with 23 last year on a five-win team. The Browns reworked Garrett's four-year extension recently, which sparked some trade buzz since it opens that door this off-season. But Haslam shut it down quick, saying everyone's on the same page, no deals happening. Fans and media been watching close after Garrett's trade request last off-season following a three-win disaster. They locked him up with the richest defensive contract ever, making him the highest paid at his position. Still, with new head coach Todd Monkin and defensive coordinator Mike Routenberg, they haven't linked up much yet. Garrett's been low-key, cheering his girlfriend Chloe Kim at the Olympics in Italy, hitting a college basketball game, and yeah, picking up another, speeding ticket.
