Exactly 11 months ago to the day, Myles Garrett released a public statement on his request to be traded from the Cleveland Browns after eight seasons.

"While I've loved calling this city my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won't allow me to be complacent,” he wrote. “The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl.

"With that in mind, I have requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns."

Thirty four days later, Garrett signed a four-year contract extension with $123 million in guaranteed money that, at the time, made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
