Denzel Ward Reveals Thoughts on Browns Future in Video After Myles Garrett Trade to Rams

The Cleveland Browns made a clear rebuilding move when they traded superstar Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams for Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, 2028 second-rounder and 2029 third.

But veteran cornerback Denzel Ward isn't about to jump ship too.

"I definitely still want to be here," he told reporters Saturday. "Myles is a good friend of mine, a great teammate, but things aren't lost. It's Ohio against the world. So people could doubt us, but we're going out there still trying to play our best ball and bring wins to the city."

Ward, 29, is now the longest-tenured Brown. The five-time Pro Bowler is under contract for two more seasons and seems intent on sticking with Cleveland, even after Garrett pushed for a trade and got one.

"Crazy trade, definitely a crazy trade," Ward told reporters. "I believe that either you're with us or against us, and as you see, he's not with us. Crazy trade, but hey, that's the nature of this game."
