Defensive player of year Myles Garrett requests trade from troubled Browns

• Defensive end says he wants a shot at a Super Bowl win
• Former No 1 overall pick is team's all-time sack leader

Myles Garrett, the reigning NFL defensive player of the year, says he wants to be traded by the Cleveland Browns in order to get a realistic shot at winning a championship.

As a kid dreaming of the NFL, all I focused on was the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl - and that goal fuels me today more than ever," Garrett wrote in a statement. My love for the community of Northeast Ohio and the incredible fanbase of the Cleveland Browns has made this one of the toughest decisions of my life. These past eight years have shaped me into the man that I am today.
