Myles Garrett becomes the highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL story

Myles Garrett is staying in Cleveland after Browns gave him a record four-year contract extension that makes the four-time All-Pro Edge Rusher to the highest paid non-quartal in NFL history.

A person with knowledge of the details told Associated Press that Garrett’s agreement includes $ 122.8 million guaranteed, an average annual salary of $ 40 million with a total value of $ 204.8 million. The person spoke on Sunday on condition of anonymity because expressions were not announced.

Garrett, 2023 AP Defensive Player of the Year, had asked for a trade Last month but Browns were firmly holding the 29-year-old star in Cleveland.

Garrett’s contract raises the bar for other non-QBs, including Bengals All-Pro-Hide Receiver Yes’marr Chase and cowboy’s Edge Rusher Micah Parsons. Cincinnati has already stated plans to make hunts for the highest paid non-QB in the league.

Garrett, a first round of elections in 2017, had 14 sacks and 22 tackles for loss last season. He has 102 1/2 sacks in his eight seasons with Browns.

Garrett has only played in three playoffs with Cleveland.
