NFL superstar Myles Garrett has signed a 4-year, $40 million extension with the Cleveland Browns, putting an end to speculation about his future with the team. The deal keeps Garrett in northeast Ohio for the long haul and addresses concerns about his commitment to the franchise.
Garrett’s decision comes after a series of public appearances, including an aggressive media tour that sparked tension among fans. However, the defensive end maintains he never wavered from his goal of bringing a championship to Cleveland. “I mean from Day 1, I’ve always said that I’ve wanted to bring a championship to northeast Ohio,” Garrett said Friday. “So that didn’t change my stance.”
Garrett believes his public actions ultimately led to the extension, as they prompted conversations with management and owners. He expressed frustration but emphasizes it helped build relationships and grow discourse. The defensive end also assures fans he’s committed to winning and dominating on the field.
The deal is seen as a turning point for the Browns, who have faced criticism for their recent quarterback moves, particularly the Deshaun Watson acquisition. Garrett guarantees he’ll continue delivering exceptional play despite his lucrative contract, saying “I don’t tell fans anything. I go out there and prove it.”
