Myles Garrett Stays Put: Browns Lock Down Star DE

0:00On April 7th, Miles Garrett, the Cleveland Brown star defensive end, is skipping the voluntary offseason workouts again this year, but that doesn't, meaning he's packing his bags. Brown's GM Andrew Berry made it crystal clear at the NFL meetings in Phoenix, he's a career Brown and one of the team's top faces. No trade drama here, despite all the buzz. League Insiders had speculated a deal after the team tweaked Garrett's contract language earlier this offseason. They pushed back the option bonus deadlines to just before the regular season and adjusted payments to favor him. That set up makes any potential post-June for his trade easier on the salary cap, splitting dead money over future years. Fans and NFL folks reacted big time, especially since Garrett asked for a trade last February. But a month later, Cleveland locked him up with a four-year extension averaging $40 million all as a year and $123 million, guaranteed. Berry shut down the questions quick, saying they've been up front about keeping him.

1:00Garrett just earned defensive player of the year for the second time, breaking the single-season sack record with 23 last year. He led the league with 33 tackles for lost at season 2, and since entering as the number one pick in 2017, he's got one, 125 and a half sacks total. Even with the Browns finishing 5 and 12, Garrett's dominance stands out as the league's best defender right now. Expect him to keep angering that D-line when the real games hit this fall.
