Monken and Garrett: A Preseason Introduction Yet to Happen

Cleveland Browns’ new head coach, Todd Monken, hired on January 28th, has yet to officially meet with the team’s star player, Myles Garrett. When questioned at the team’s organized team activities (OTAs) if he had a “face-to-face with Garrett yet,” Monken responded with surprise, “Myles?” followed by a confirmation of “No.”

Garrett has been absent from the Browns’ offseason program and has already forfeited $1 million for skipping a mandatory minicamp. He faces an additional financial penalty of $107,911 if he misses the upcoming mandatory minicamp next month. Notably, the player widely considered a frontrunner for the 2025 Defensive Player of the Year award also opted out of the Browns’ voluntary offseason activities last season, prior to setting the NFL’s official sacks record with 23.
