-
In March 2025, Myles Garrett agreed to a four-year extension with the Browns, averaging about $40 million per year and with a large guaranteed total (around $123 million), making him one of the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in the NFL at the time. This extension runs through the 2030 season and included a no-trade clause. [Source: NFL Network reporting and team announcements from 2025][1][2]

In the immediate aftermath, Garrett publicly shifted from a trade request to expressing commitment to Cleveland and chasing championships, with the Browns emphasizing that he remains a central piece of their plans. The deal also positioned him to stay with the Browns for six additional seasons. [Source: Cleveland Browns press release and NFL Network reports from 2025][2][1]
