Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett reported to mandatory minicamp looking fit as always and ready to work. He nearly put his own quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the proverbial graveyard of quarterbacks Garrett decorates his yard with during Halloween.

After making waves at the end of last season and telling everyone who would listen at the Super Bowl that he wanted out of Cleveland, the Browns worked out a deal to keep the future Hall of Famer in a Cleveland Browns uniform.
Fans wished that the Browns would proceed with a similar plan of keeping Nick Chubb in Cleveland. Chubb signed with the Houston Texans and was spotted at Texans’ camp in the unsettling and unfamiliar Texans uniform wearing #21. Garrett said that he lobbied for the Browns to keep Chubb but to no avail. He calls it an “emotional blow” not to have Chubb in the Browns locker room.

Though many expected the free agent Chubb to work a deal with a new team, no one wanted to see it happen. Others were surprised that he signed for the bargain basement contract amount of $2.5 million. Chubb will likely split carries with another fellow AFC North player, Joe Mixon, formerly of the Cincinnati Bengals.
New #Texans RB Nick Chubb has now passed his physical and signed with Houston, sources say. The former #Browns Pro Bowler agreed to terms over the weekend and is getting a 1-year, $2.5M deal that can be worth up to $5M.

What Myles Garrett Said About Aaron Rodgers
As if there is not enough drama in the AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers took it up a notch by signing veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Garrett laughed off the reporter’s question about Rodgers and commented that it’s “a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard.”
