Browns Restructure Myles Garrett's Contract, Trade Rumors Cooled

0:00On March 26th, the Cleveland Browns recently reworked the contract of their star defensive N Miles Garrett, which right away fuel talk about a possible trade. Earlier this week, ESPN reporter Adam Schaefter put those rumors to rest on the Pat McAfee show, saying he checked directly with the team and they have, zero plans to move him. The change is pushback deadlines for Garrett's option bonuses in 2026 through 2028 to just a week before each season. And they shift $8 million of his base salary from 2029 and 2030 into earlier roster bonuses that help him. Out. Browns officials insist the move is all about gaining more salary cap room. Though experts at SpotTrack point out it doesn't actually free up any extra. Space right now. For the moment, Garrett looks locked in with Cleveland, but the new setup could still tempt other teams to make a strong offer down the line.
