Here’s the latest I’ve got on Myles Garrett’s contract:
-
In March 2025, Garrett and the Cleveland Browns agreed to a four-year extension that runs through the 2030 season. The deal averages about $40 million per year with roughly $123 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback at the time. This extended his contract through 2030, keeping him with the Browns for six more seasons overall. [Sources indicate the deal details and the timeline of the extension were announced in early March 2025.]
-
The extension followed Garrett’s earlier public trade request in the preceding offseason, but the Browns publicly stated they had no intention of trading him and moved forward with the extension to keep him as a core piece on defense.
-
In 2024, Garrett posted strong numbers despite the Browns’ struggles, including 14 sacks (second in the league) and a career-high workload with 30% double teams, which underlined his value to Cleveland at the time of the extension.
-
There has been ongoing discussion about potential subsequent contract considerations or modifications in later years, but as of March 2025, the formal extension through 2030 stood as the negotiated arrangement. More recent reports in 2026 note ongoing interest in Garrett’s future with the Browns, including rumored adjustments and trade considerations, but nothing definitive altering the 2025 extension’s core terms.
If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date local or national coverage from today and summarize any new developments, including contract talks, extensions, or trade rumors. I can also break down the contract terms (cap hits, guarantees, structure) in a simple table.
