The Cleveland Browns hired Todd Monken as their new coach in January after firing former coach Kevin Stefanski. However, the new Browns coach hasn’t met veteran defensive end Myles Garrett.

Monken was asked whether he has met the Pro Bowl DE after he arrived in Cleveland. The New Browns coach answered with a straightforward “no.”

Fans reacted to Browns’ defensive stalwart not meeting their new coach.

“How hasn’t he yet?!? 😳 just trade him already lol.”

“-100 team chemistry.”

“Your new head coach not even meeting the best defensive player in the history of your franchise is some way to set a tone.”

“The way he answers make me think Myles may finally get his wish if things arent going right by the trade deadline.”

“The more coming out ab the browns the more 2nd hand embarrassment I get.”

Garrett, who set the NFL‘s single-season sack record and won the Defensive Player of the Year award last season, is not attending the voluntary OTAs for a second year, a potential reason Monken has not met the veteran DE yet.

Browns coach Todd Monken not making a “big deal” out of Myles Garrett missing OTAs

While Myles Garrett is not attending the OTAs, the Pro Bowl defensive end’s availability for the team’s mandatory minicamp next month also remains unclear. However, Browns coach Todd Monken urged not to “make a big deal out of” Garrett missing the OTAs.

“Hasn’t been a lot. This is voluntary,” Monken said. “We’re making a big deal out of this. We really are. It’s voluntary. We have other guys besides Myles that aren’t here. I wish they were here. They’ll be ready. We expect them to be ready and we’ll be fired up when they’re here.”

The seven-time Pro Bowler is the best player on the roster and is expected to play a crucial role in Monken’s first year as a Browns coach.
