Browns Adjust Myles Garrett's Contract, Eye Rule Change

0:00On March 26, the Cleveland Browns have tweaked Miles Garrett's contract to give themselves more flexibility amid their recent struggles. The team has won just a few games over the past two years, and last spring Garrett signed a four-year deal worth $160 million. After hinting at a trade, that extension locked him in tight with a massive $41 million deadcap hit if they moved him before June 1. Here this week, the Browns adjusted the terms on those option bonuses for 2026 through 2028. Instead of due by mid-March each year, they're now payable just seven days before the regular season starts. This shift helps Cleveland free up cap space sooner and gives Garrett some payment perks too. Fans and analysts see this as a sign the Browns might shop their star-pass rusher. It clears a big hurdle for potential deals, especially as the team rebuilds from back-to-back tough seasons. Meanwhile, Cleveland plans the pitcher rule change at the NFL owners' meetings later this month.

With these moves, the Browns seem poised for big changes this off-season, keeping everyone guessing on what comes next for Garrett and the roster.
