It was just over a month ago that defensive end Myles Garrett sent the national media into a tizzy with a public trade request. In the statement, Garrett said he want to “compete for and win a Super Bowl,” suggesting he didn’t think that was possible in Cleveland. Turns out, $40 million a year is enough to change your mind.
According to several reports, Garrett has agreed to a contract extension with the Browns worth $40 million a year and includes $123.5 million in guarantees. The deal exceeds the recent deal acquired by Raiders edge defender Maxx Crosby, who received a three-year, $106.
