In the final weeks of a dreary season for the Cleveland Browns, Myles Garrett made it clear he does not want to be part of a rebuilding process.

Furthermore, he was looking for discussions with the Browns brass that would shed a light on what the plan was going forward.

It would appear those conversations were had and Garrett believes his Browns might not be that far away from playing the "meaningful" games he covets, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

"I've talked to [general manager Andrew Berry]," Garrett said in Tuesday's episode of Hard Knocks: In Season With the AFC North. "How we gonna make the most of all the talent that is here? We're closer than some may think we are."

Speaking prior to a Week 15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Garrett spoke about wanting to end his career in Cleveland, but being just as adamant that he wasn't on board with a lengthy franchise restructure. After suffering through the worst Browns season since his 0-16 rookie campaign, Garrett is looking to play in important games.

In 2023, the Browns made the playoffs, but a year later were dreadful. He's hoping for another quick turn in the opposite direction.

"Everyone wants to know how we can get out of the rut that we're in and get back to winning games," he said on Hard Knocks, "and making a run instead of making plans."
