• Browns' Myles Garrett: Remaining in CLE on record deal

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Garrett and the Browns agreed Sunday on a contract extension that averages $40 million per year and includes $123.5 million in guaranteed salary, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Garrett officially requested a trade in early February, but Cleveland consistently stated that it was unwilling to entertain the request. The two sides now have agreed upon a massive deal that will make Garrett the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Per Schefter, the agreement includes a no-trade clause and will keep Garrett in Cleveland through the 2030 season. Garrett was selected by the Browns in the first round of the 2017 Draft and has built a potential Hall of Fame career since then, becoming the first player in franchise history to win a Defensive Player of the Year award (in 2023) and racking up double-digit sacks in each of the past seven regular seasons.

• Browns' Myles Garrett: Cleveland won't entertain trade

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  Browns general manager Andrew Berry said Tuesday that the team will not consider moving on from Garrett, who requested a trade in early February, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. "We respect and appreciate [Garrett]," Berry said, but clarified that "we're not interested in moving him." The Browns remain steadfast about wanting to retain the star edge rusher, with Berry having said in January that even an offer of two first-round picks wouldn't convince the team to budge. Still, Garrett said in his trade request that his top priority is to compete for a Super Bowl immediately, and Cleveland could be heading toward a rebuild. If both sides refuse to budge as the offseason progresses, it's possible Garrett will consider a holdout.

• Browns' Myles Garrett: Makes trade request official

  Garrett officially announced Monday his request to be traded by the Browns, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, said in his announcement: "The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl." The 29-year-old's trade request comes with the context of the Browns seemingly entering a rebuilding phase, with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) uncertain for the 2025 season, and Cleveland in the mix to potentially reset at the quarterback position, holding the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager Andrew Berry stated in late January that Garrett isn't on the trade block, specifying that even an offer of two first-round picks wouldn't move the needle, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, but the defensive end's superstar status gives him substantial leverage. Garrett has two years remaining on his current deal, with both seasons carrying roughly a $20 million cap hit.

  Garrett (thigh) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's game against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Garrett was a DNP in the first two sessions of the week due to a thigh issue, but his limited participation in Thursday's practice was enough for him to shed an injury tag heading into Saturday's regular-season finale. The All-Pro defensive end is coming off a two-sack performance against the Dolphins this past Sunday, which brought him up to 14.0 sacks on the season.
