BROWNS LOCK DOWN MYLES GARRETT WITH RECORD-BREAKING DEAL
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has agreed to a new contract that will make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal includes $123.5 million guaranteed and will pay Garrett an average of $40 million per year.
The agreement comes after a month-long standoff between Garrett and the Browns, during which Garrett requested a trade to a Super Bowl contender. However, the Browns were unwilling to part with their star player and have instead opted to reward him with a lucrative new contract.
While the deal is likely to make Garrett one of the happiest players in the league, it remains to be seen whether it will bring him closer to his ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl. The Browns have not been considered a top contender in recent years, and it is unclear whether Garrett believes the team is on the verge of a turnaround.
Regardless, the deal is a significant coup for the Browns, who have managed to retain their best player despite his initial desire to leave. With Garrett now committed to playing out his prime in Cleveland, the team will be hoping that he can lead them to greater success in the years to come.
