BREAKING: Myles Garrett Opens Door to Leaving Browns After Explosive Postgame Comment — Fans Furious, Speculate He Wants to Join Patriots
Foxborough, Massachusetts – October 26, 2025
NFL fans were left stunned after Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett dropped a shocking postgame comment following his team’s loss to the New England Patriots, sparking wild speculation that the All-Pro defensive end could soon be wearing Patriots colors himself.
After another frustrating defeat marked by defensive breakdowns and late-game penalties, Garrett’s tone in the locker room was noticeably different — calm, yet cutting. When asked whether he still believed in the Browns’ long-term vision, the franchise cornerstone delivered a cryptic but powerful answer.
“At some point, you start to wonder if your loyalty is being matched,” Garrett said. “I’ve given everything to this organization. I love Cleveland, but sometimes you’ve got to think about what’s best for your career.”
Fans Shocked — And Furious
The quote immediately went viral, igniting chaos among Browns Nation. Within minutes, hashtags like #MylesToPatriots and #GarrettTradeRumors began trending across X (formerly Twitter).
“This can’t be real,” one Cleveland fan wrote. “Garrett is the Browns defense. If he’s thinking about leaving, something’s seriously broken inside that locker room.”
Meanwhile, Patriots fans wasted no time welcoming the idea, flooding social media with photoshopped images of Garrett in a New England uniform.
“Garrett in a Patriots jersey next to Matthew Judon? That’s a nightmare for every AFC quarterback,” one fan posted.
Patriots Game Sparks Turning Point
The Browns’ narrow loss to the Patriots was particularly painful. Despite Garrett’s dominant performance — recording two sacks, a forced fumble, and four QB hits — Cleveland’s offense sputtered late, and New England capitalized with a decisive fourth-quarter touchdown drive led by rookie quarterback Drake Maye.
As the Patriots celebrated, cameras caught Garrett looking visibly frustrated on the sideline. Multiple reporters noted that he left the field without shaking hands, heading straight to the tunnel — an unusual move for the typically composed defensive captain.
“A Boiling Point” Inside the Locker Room
According to sources close to the team, tension has been building for weeks between Garrett and certain members of the Browns’ coaching staff. Concerns reportedly stem from a lack of communication over defensive schemes and an inconsistent team identity.
“Myles has been carrying that defense,” said one anonymous teammate. “He wants to win — and when you keep losing close games like this, it eats at him.”
Garrett, 29, has spent his entire career in Cleveland since being drafted No. 1 overall in 2017, earning multiple Pro Bowl selections and Defensive Player of the Year honors. Yet despite his dominance, the Browns have continued to hover around mediocrity, failing to reach the AFC Championship during his tenure.
Patriots Connection Fuels Speculation
Adding to the fire, Garrett has openly praised Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel in recent months, calling him “a player’s coach who knows how to get the best out of his defense.”
With the Patriots rebuilding around a young core and holding considerable cap flexibility for 2026, analysts believe a blockbuster move for Garrett could be realistic — especially if he forces the issue.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport posted late Sunday:
“Don’t dismiss the Myles Garrett-to-New England chatter. Patriots need a premier pass rusher, and Garrett’s comments tonight weren’t accidental. This story is just beginning.”
Browns Face a Crucial Crossroads
As speculation grows, Cleveland’s front office faces immense pressure to repair the relationship with its star defender. Team sources say management plans to meet with Garrett early this week to discuss his concerns and reaffirm their commitment to winning.
But fans aren’t convinced the situation can be salvaged.
“He’s given everything to this team,” one season-ticket holder said outside Gillette Stadium. “If the Browns can’t keep Myles Garrett happy, they’ll never keep anyone happy.”
For now, the NFL world waits — and wonders whether Myles Garrett’s frustration will mark the beginning of a new chapter in Foxborough.
