The Cleveland Browns have put their fans through plenty over the years, but trading Myles Garrett might be the move that broke something.
Even The Miz, long used to the pain, felt this one hit differently. This was not just about losing a player. For a lot of fans, it felt like the bottom dropped out of the entire offseason in one moment.
The Miz’s reaction summed it up perfectly, the sort of disbelief you can only feel when hope had just started to creep back in.
The Miz can’t believe Cleveland Browns traded Myles Garrett
In a recent The Miz X post, the longtime Browns fan sounded like someone who had been caught completely off guard at the worst possible time.
“Not Myles. Anyone. But. Myles. Before the draft, I buried the season. After the draft, I believed again,” The Miz wrote.
He added, “And now, at 35,000 feet, the Browns have somehow found a new way to ruin my flight. Please tell me this isn’t real.”
It is a classic Browns fan story. The Miz had already written off the season, only to let the draft pull him back in, and then the Garrett news landed while he was stuck on a plane.
Garrett was not just another name on the roster. He was the face of the defense, the kind of player who made even the most cynical fans believe there was still something special about the team.
Myles Garrett trade gives Cleveland Browns real return but makes Los Angeles Rams terrifying
This was not a small return for the Browns, but that hardly makes it easier for fans to accept. Cleveland received edge rusher Jared Verse, plus a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-rounder and a 2029 third-round pick.
On paper, that is a serious haul. Verse gives Cleveland a young defensive building block, while the picks give the front office more room to reshape the roster.
But the Rams did not make this move to start over. They are chasing a Super Bowl, and adding Garrett is a statement of intent.
That is what stings the most. The Miz was reacting to the Browns giving up the one player nobody in Cleveland wanted to see leave, no matter what came back in return.
