Whilst much of his focus will be on the Super Bowl, Travis Kelce has given fans his thoughts on Myles Garrett‘s request to be traded by the Cleveland Browns.

Kelce is a Cleveland Heights native and keeps a close eye on what is going on with his hometown team, especially given he played for them for eight years.

Garrett was the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and he was chosen by the Browns with the No.1 overall pick. He instantly became a fan favourite, but that relationship is now being tested.

Garrett has decided that the Browns are no longer matching his ambitions. They ended the season with an abysmal 3-14 record and he now wants out of the franchise.

Travis Kelce’s thoughts

Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot explained some of Kelce’s words about the situation.

“Obviously, every team in the National Football League would be accepting of a guy like Myles Garrett.” Kelce said.

“Just a pro’s pro, a standup guy, he’s in the community. As I told him, I appreciated him for everything he’s done for the Cleveland community before he mentioned that he wanted a trade or he wanted to get out of there.

“I just have so much love for him. He’s such a good guy. And on top of that, I think Cleveland deserves to have a product that they can be really excited for. That’s a diehard sports town. It’s fiending for an opportunity to go crazy for football,” Kelce said.

Garrett has previously explained that he wants to win the Super Bowl and needs to choose a team that can help him achieve that.

Kareem Hunt also shared thoughts on the situation that faces his old team: “I was shocked because I know how much love he has for Cleveland and the community and everything out there. He’s done such a great job since entering the NFL and did nothing but give them his all.”
