Myles Garrett has already cemented himself as one of the most dominant defensive players of his generation. Now, he’s thinking bigger.

After recording an NFL-record 23 sacks during the 2025 season and capturing his second NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, the Cleveland Browns superstar made it clear what’s next on his checklist: a Super Bowl ring — and maybe even a Super Bowl MVP trophy.

Garrett shared that goal during an appearance on “The Edge with Micah Parsons,” making it obvious that individual accolades are no longer enough. At 30 years old, he’s chasing championships.

The challenge? Cleveland isn’t exactly built for a title run right now.

The Browns are coming off a five-win campaign that triggered major changes. Kevin Stefanski is out as head coach, and Todd Monken steps in for his first shot leading an NFL team. Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz also departed, leaving additional uncertainty on a unit that once carried the roster.

While Garrett remains the cornerstone, the offense still lacks proven playmakers, and a coaching transition often brings growing pains. That timeline doesn’t necessarily align with Garrett’s prime years. He turns 31 later this season, and elite pass rushers don’t stay at their peak forever.

Last offseason, Garrett even requested a trade before ultimately signing a four-year, $160 million extension to remain in Cleveland. Financial realities complicate any potential move, as trading him before June 1 would carry a $41 million dead cap hit. Waiting until after that date would reduce the financial burden significantly, but the Browns have given no indication they plan to deal their franchise defender.

Garrett has done his part — rewriting the sack record books and anchoring the defense. Now the pressure shifts to Cleveland’s front office.

If the Browns can build quickly around their superstar edge rusher, his Super Bowl dream stays alive in Ohio. If not, the clock may become his biggest opponent.
