US EditionMyles Garrett thinks Browns are in a better place after extension
- Myles Garrett, the 2023 AP Defensive Player of the Year and first overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft, signed a four-year contract extension with the Browns, averaging $40 million per year, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league's history.
- The deal, which includes $122.8 million guaranteed and a total value of $204.8 million, ended a month-long saga that began during Super Bowl week when Garrett requested a trade after voicing frustration about the Browns' 3-14 campaign.
- Despite the trade request, the Browns were firm that they would not entertain offers from other teams, leading to conversations between Garrett and Andrew Berry about the franchise's future.
- Garrett believes his frustration and subsequent trade request acted as a catalyst for difficult but necessary conversations with the Browns, helping to build and reaffirm relationships within the organization; he stated that owner Jimmy Haslam largely stayed out of the discussions, allowing Garrett and Berry to "hammer things out."
- Garrett met Russell Wilson on Thursday at the Browns complex in Berea, Ohio, and he believes Wilson would be a valuable asset to the team as a leader and mentor, bringing up the possibility of Wilson coming to the Browns during the Pro Bowl.
