Browns Consider Garrett Contract Adjustments, Trade Speculation Emerges

Reports indicate the Cleveland Browns are evaluating modifications to two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett's contract. This assessment follows his performance during the previous season.

Garrett recorded 14.0 sacks, 42 total tackles, and four forced fumbles in 2023. He earned his fifth Pro Bowl selection and third First-Team All-Pro honor for these statistics. He also secured the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.

The Browns signed Garrett to a five-year, $125 million contract extension in 2020. This deal included $100 million in guarantees. Any contract restructuring could alter the team's salary cap situation or trade flexibility. No team officials have confirmed any discussions regarding a trade involving Garrett.
