Browns defensive end Myles Garrett wants the team to prioritize winning over rebuilding. After nine seasons, Garrett is seeking reassurance that the Browns have a plan to achieve success sooner rather than later. His commitment to the team comes with a condition: he needs to see a clear path to victory.
Garrett’s request becomes more challenging given quarterback Deshaun Watson’s massive contract, which exceeds $230 million and includes $92 million in cash and additional millions in cap space. The Browns’ financial situation makes it difficult to restructure or release key players, including Garrett, who is also signed for two more years.
With his career ticking away at 29, Garrett is running out of time. If the team fails to convince him that a winning strategy exists, Garrett may consider leaving in search of a more promising opportunity. The Browns now face the daunting task of convincing Garrett that there’s a path to success despite their current financial constraints and the weight of Watson’s contract.
