Despite signing a massive new extension, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has no regrets about requesting a trade.

Garrett demanded a trade on Feb. 3 and spent Super Bowl week reiterating his desire to go elsewhere and chase a championship. But last week, he signed a 4-year, $160 million extension with the Browns. In a March 14 press conference, Garrett said his trade request prompted difficult but necessary discussions about building the team into a contender, and that he would prove himself to skeptical fans by continuing to play at a high level.
