Another said, “As somebody who was a Chloe Kim fan and Miles Garrett fan separately, prior to you two getting together, I have nothing but love for you both! We will miss him here in Cleveland for sure but he deserves a bigger stage for his talent! I am just sorry we didn’t meet the bar he set every time he stepped on the field! I will enjoy watching him next season!”
Garrett spent nine seasons in Cleveland before the Browns traded him on Monday. Garrett wrote in a letter to Cleveland after the trade, “Cleveland made me tougher. You challenged me. You taught me about perseverance, about showing up even when things aren’t easy, and what loyalty really looks like.”

“What I can say with complete honesty is this: I gave this city everything I had. I suited up and wore those colors with pride, and I don’t regret a second of being part of this storied franchise,” Garrett continued.
“Every Sunday. Every offseason. Every play. Every down. Every moment. You gave me more in return that I can ever repay,” he added.
