Myles Garrett's trade request from the Cleveland Browns has been canceled.
The Browns said Sunday they have agreed to a four-year contract extension through the 2030 season. While the Browns did not disclose his salary, multiple outlets reported he will earn an average of $40 million a year and that the contract includes $123 million in guaranteed money.
Garrett will become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league, easily surpassing the three-year, $106.5 million contract that defensive end Maxx Crosby agreed to with the Las Vegas Raiders last week.On Feb. 3, Garrett requested a trade from the Browns, adamant that he wanted to play for a Super Bowl contender and that money wasn't the issue. Cleveland.com reported Feb. 27 that a lucrative contract extension would not wipe out Garrett's trade request.
A stalemate ensued when the Browns said they would not trade, Garrett, who was the No. 1 overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.
He is a four-time All-Pro, a six-time Pro Bowl selection and the winner of the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year award.
Garrett, 29, has racked up 102.5 sacks, 20 forced fumbles, 200 quarterback hits and 116 tackles for loss in 117 career games (114 starts).
He is the only player in NFL history with 14 or more sacks in four consecutive seasons (2021-24).
He signed a five-year, $125 million extension with the Browns in 2020 and is set to count $19.7 million against the team's cap in 2025. He would have become an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2027 season, according to Spotrac.
