From Trade to Truce : Myles Garrett signs a record breaking extension ( $40 million/yr and 124 million guaranteed) with the Browns

[Anerdyblackguy]

The Cleveland Browns and Myles Garrett reached agreement Sunday on a record contract extension that averages $40 million per year and includes $123.5 million in guaranteed money, making the star defensive end the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, sources told ESPN.

Garrett's agent, Nicole Lynn of Klutch Sports, and Browns general manager Andrew Berry finalized the deal Sunday.

The contract also includes a no-trade clause and ties Garrett to the Browns through the 2030 season, according to sources, meaning the four-time All-Pro's path from "Cleveland to Canton" is back on.

Lynn and Berry worked together over the last 36 hours to cement the previously stated "Cleveland to Canton" career trajectory.

The sides agreed to the deal two days after reports circulated that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam recently declined a request to meet with Garrett regarding his trade request.

Both Garrett and the Browns had been dug in on their respective stances -- the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year wanted to be traded to a contender, and the organization was adamant that they would not acquiesce in the request. Garrett first requested a trade in early February.

Lmao

 

[Piff Perkins]

So all the talking heads yelling about how if xyz team didn't sign Garrett they aren't serious about winning were wasting our time. Shocking.

 

[Llcoolbay]

Browns management just said fck it and gave him whatever he wants since they are going to be trash anyway and he's the only thing good that's going for that franchise

I respect it

 

[Brozay]

good for Myles but I really thought it was a good time for Cleveland to cash in and get assets and start rebuilding. Could have gotten some serious draft capital back

 

[Mike18jj]

123 million guaranteed, who gives a fukk about winning

"Browns can go 0-17 and I look at you like this shyt gravy"

 

[SoSoSlick]

Lol. Finessed them pockets.

 

[KING WILL]

Damn. I was hoping the Bucs had a shot at him

 

[Nino Soprano]

That organization is stupid lol. Get ya paper Myles lol

 

[winb83]

He played the game well.

Watson is a sunk cost, so ignore that contract. They can draft Cam Ward / Sanders and see what happens. Go get Russ or something if you want a bridge. If you trade Garrett, the return would be unknown. Now you locked up a top 5 NFL talent and can have a rookie QB with upside potential. Fair play if you ask me.

 

[Apprentice]

The browns are retarded

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Smart from a money standpoint but he's gonna get so much shyt for this.

Flip side is the fans don't have to deal with CTE, arthritis, broken fingers etc., so breh should get paid.
