The Cleveland Browns are going to make sure Myles Garrett does not have to worry about finances indefinitely, per a report.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport reported Tuesday and the Browns and their star defensive end are close on a contract extension worth $125M over five years.
Garrett, 24, was the first overall player chosen in the 2017 NFL Draft by Cleveland. He played college ball at Texas A&M. In three professional seasons, Garrett has 30.5 sacks in 37 games.
He was suspended indefinitely by the NFL after an ugly incident with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph at the end of an AFC North game in the 2019 season.
Garrett later apologized for his actions, which he described as “foolish” and “out of character,” while at the same time thanking those players who “backed him up.” He was also fined $45,623.
Garrett was reinstated from his suspension on Feb. 12, 2020.
