PHOENIX – As the 2026 NFL Annual Meeting kicks off, Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Andrew Berry met with local media for the first time since the new league year began on March 11.
He covered a variety of topics, from the free agency acquisitions and the draft to DE Myles Garrett and the outlook on their quarterback room.
Here are the top pieces of new and other notes from Berry’s time with the local media.
As reports surfaced about contract modifications for DE Myles Garrett, Berry emphasized that those adjustments are not correlated to the idea of trading their reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
“Myles is a career Brown,” Berry said. “He is one of the faces of our organization. I think we’ve been very clear both past and present in terms of our goals.”
Berry also reiterated he feels they are in a good spot with Garrett, who signed a contract extension in 2025 that runs through the 2030 season. Berry also said they like the core of their team, which features a dominant defense led by Garrett.
“We’ll always do what we think is in the best interest of the organization,” Berry said. “We really like our core. I think as we look at the team, we have an elite young defense. We have a really rebuilt offensive line. We have nine picks this upcoming draft and I think seven are in the top 150. Three in the top 40. We have a good offensive young core that we brought in last year. And honestly, as we saw last year, there are more than one way to generate assets in the NFL. So, we’ll always do what’s best for the organization, but we feel really good about our roster right now before the draft.”
