Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has spent eight seasons with a front-row seat to the ongoing quarterback issues that have plagued the team.
Starting with his rookie season in 2017 when the quarterback room of DeShone Kizer, Kevin Hogan, and Cody Kessler contributed to the 0-16 season, through the Baker Mayfield years, and the historically horrible play in 2024 of Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Garrett has watched as 16 different quarterbacks have taken a regular-season snap for the Browns.
That had to contribute on some level to Garrett’s frustration after last season, which led him to first demand a trade before ultimately deciding that staying in Cleveland to the tune of more than $122 million in guaranteed money as part of a contract extension was the way to go.
