Myles Garrett broke his own Cleveland Browns<\/a> record yesterday, recording five sacks on New England Patriots<\/a> quarterback Drake Maye, the most in a single game in franchise history.<\/p>\n

But it wasn’t enough to keep Cleveland in the game, as they still ended up losing 32-13. Garrett was visibly frustrated on the Browns’ sideline, but didn’t he make his own bed here?<\/p>\n

The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft requested a trade this past offseason, but rescinded it when Cleveland offered him the largest non-quarterback contract in NFL history at the time.<\/p>\n

Jared Allen urges Browns to trade Myles Garrett<\/p>\n

Hall of Fame defensive end Jared Allen is a big fan of Garrett, but believes he can’t be as frustrated as he is thanks to his own actions over the course of the offseason.<\/p>\n

“Dude, you had your chance and you chose the money. You knew what you were getting into when they paid you $120-some odd million to stay in Cleveland, you knew what you were getting into,” said<\/a> Allen on Kay Adams’ Up & Adams Show.<\/p>\n

“Now, if I’m Cleveland, I’m trading Myles Garrett, trading his contract, and I’m getting as many picks as I possibly can and letting that guy go try to win somewhere…the reality is they’re so far away from a championship, he’ll have a gold jacket before they even sniff that.”<\/p>\n

It’s hard to argue with Allen’s overall point about Garrett. He certainly could’ve landed his mega extension elsewhere in the NFL and been on a team that can compete.<\/p>\n

Cleveland, as currently constructed, is nowhere near being a fringe playoff team. They would be better off acquiring a haul of assets for Garrett than wasting the prime of his career on teams that can’t even be a factor in the playoff hunt.<\/p>\n

With the trade deadline around the corner, it seems unlikely the NFL’s sack leader would force a trade on such short notice. But when the offseason begins, it will certainly be an interesting topic of conversation if the Browns are selecting a rookie quarterback with a top pick in next April’s draft.<\/p>\n
