Kosar, who took the Browns to three AFC Championship Games in the late 1980s, only left the team because Bill Belichick cut him in 1993, citing “diminishing skills.” Kosar went on to sign with the Cowboys that season, winning a Super Bowl ring as their backup QB. He finished his career with the Dolphins from 1994-96.

But Kosar, a native of Boardman, would’ve loved nothing more than to turn one of those AFC Championship Games into a Super Bowl victory for his hometown team. That’s why he’s dismayed by the unfortunate series of events.

Garrett, the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and future Hall of Famer, released a statement Monday saying he wanted to be traded to go elsewhere and win a Super Bowl. He then took to radio row on Wednesday to conduct a media blitz explaining his thinking, which boils down to the fact that he doesn’t think the Browns will contend in 2025.

But Kosar believes all is not lost, even though it appears both sides will dig in their heels. Browns GM Andrew Berry said recently at the Senior Bowl that he won’t trade Garrett — not even for two first-round picks, and that he wants him to go from Cleveland to Canton, retiring as a Cleveland Brown and later going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

During his media tour around radio row, in which said he’d love to play with a quarterback such as Washington’s Jayden Daniels and a team such as the NFC Champion Eagles, Garrett said it’s not about the money or the Hall of Fame, and that he just wants to win a Super Bowl. Unfortunately for the Browns and their fans, he now wants that to happen elsewhere.

“As I get older and as a guy who still wants to really live in Disney World and think about the Cinderella’s castle, I really do believe in second chances and then people getting back together,” Kosar said. “I know I’m doing that in my life, and I would challenge younger people out there, whether we’re talking about the Browns and the Myles Garrett situation, or we’re just talking about anything in life right now, drawing lines in the sand isn’t helpful in anything.”

Kosar said sometimes time and patience helps resolve such a rift.

“I really do believe that sometimes, at the end of an emotional season that you put so much effort into it, and Myles puts so much effort into it, sometimes you can use a little time to digest and rest, and this may look a little different in a couple few weeks,” he said. “And the Disney World Bernie who wants to be positive and see everybody be happy and get along and win, I’d like to see maybe a little time pass and maybe see this materialize. So I don’t think it’s as bleak nor dark as people think.”

The trade request has already had a “huge impact” on Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward, who told cleveland.com he’ll have to wait and see about his own situation if the Browns trade Garrett.

Tight end David Njoku told cleveland.com that he’ll “ride or die with Cleveland” and that he’ll try to talk Garrett into rescinding his trade request because “we’re close” to winning.

However it turns out, the request has reverberated through Browns Town, impacting current and former players in a big way.
