Myles Garrett inks record-breaking contract to end Browns saga

Myles Garrett inks record-breaking contract to end Browns saga

The saga between Myles Garrett and the Browns has come to a lucrative end.

The superstar defensive end inked a four-year extension on Sunday.

The deal averages $40 million per year and included $123 million in guaranteed money, according to ESPN, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

Garrett last month told reporters that he would not sign an extension with the team and had previously requested a trade.

“Speaking with the management at the Browns, I don’t feel like our future is aligned with winning right now,” Garrett told ESPN’s “NFL Countdown” hours before Super Bowl 2025. “And that’s what I’m looking forward to do at this stage of my career.”

But it appears he’s changed his mind, or was left without a choice.

After Garrett’s comments, Browns general manager Andrew Berry insisted that the team had no plans to trade him.

“Myles, as you guys have all heard me say, he’s a huge part of our organization, really good person, he’s an awesome player,” Berry told Cleveland.com. “I understand the trade request and everything, but our stance really has not changed. We can’t imagine a situation where not having Myles as a part of the organization is best for the Browns.

“I wouldn’t really touch on any conversations that I have with other teams, just respectfully,” Berry added. “I don’t think that’s appropriate just for current and future business, but it’s irrelevant to this situation because we’re not interested in trading Myles.”

It also comes two days after owner Jimmy Haslam reportedly declined a request to meet with Garrett regarding his trade request.

Garrett’s extension runs through the 2030 season.

The 29-year-old Garrett is a four-time First Team All-Pro, two-time Second Team All-Pro and was the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year two years ago.

He’s recorded 72 sacks across the last five seasons.
