Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett communicated a trade request to the team "weeks" before he went public with the demand.
Garrett announced Feb. 3 in a statement he wants out, citing his desire to win a Super Bowl title.
According to The MMQB's Albert Breer, however, "his request had been in for a couple of weeks."
"My sense would be that the request becoming public came as a result of some level of frustration from the former Defensive Player of the Year," Breer said. "The Browns told him they wouldn't deal him. They've messaged that to other teams. And Cleveland planting its feet in the ground on that would motivate Garrett to go public."
