After the Cleveland Browns traded Myles Garrett, Andrew Berry's son didn't talk to him.
The Cleveland Browns parted ways with two popular players this offseason: Myles Garrett and David Njoku.
Cleveland traded Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams and Njoku signed with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Browns general manager Andrew Berry was recently on the Deebo & Joe show and he talked about how his son didn't speak to him after the Garrett trade and the Njoku news.
"When I told my eight-year-old son Myles Garrett, he's no longer with the team, his response was you did what?! That was his response," Berry said. "He didn't talk to me for the rest of the afternoon.
"Then here's the other part. His favorite player during his childhood has been David Njoku and I hadn't told him yet that David had signed with the Los Angeles Chargers. So poor parenting moment, I told him both those pieces of news at the same time. It was a rough couple of days in the Berry household."
Cleveland went 54-79-1 in the Garrett era. Garrett finished his Browns career with 125.5 sacks, 293 solo tackles, 149 tackles for loss and 239 QB hits. He made seven Pro Bowls and five All-Pro teams and won two Defensive Player of the Year Awards.
The Browns selected Njoku with the 29th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft out of Miami. Njoku appeared in 118 games with Cleveland. He caught 384 balls for 4,062 yards and 34 touchdowns.
Cleveland made the playoffs twice in the Njoku era. The 30-year-old made the Pro Bowl in the 2023 season. He had 81 catches for 882 yards and six touchdowns that campaign.
The Browns went 44-73-1 in the Njoku era. Njoku had 33 receptions for 293 yards and four touchdowns last season.
Cleveland plays the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints, Houston Texans, Las Vegas Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts this season. That's a pretty tough schedule.
All signs point to the Browns missing the playoffs in Year 1 of the Todd Monken era.
