A lot of fans and pundits were surprised by Myles Garrett's request for a trade and in particular his statement that his goal never was to go from Cleveland to Canton, which parrots the words of Browns General Manager Andrew Berry. I was surprised too but what I found more interesting was Myles Garrett's use of the term aligned. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam focused on "alignment" as a guideline to his leadership team. He wanted the drama to stop, probably because he's not capable of navigating the complexities of managing a room full of Alpha personalities.
When Myles Garrett stated to Rich Eisen that he was "not aligned with the Browns vision" I realized, maybe behind closed doors in Berea what alignment really is about is going along with the crowd, no matter how much you disagree with a strategy.
Anthony Schwartz is an NFL player? Sure, why not?
Deshaun Watson gives us the best chance to win? Of course he does!
The Browns can compete for a Super Bowl in 2025? Heck yeah!
Trouble is that Myles does not have to align with the Browns front office to keep his job....
