Myles Garrett is going nowhere, apparently.

The superstar defensive end expressed a desire to leave Cleveland at the end of the season in order to compete and win, sparking panic within the Browns organization. But it appears the drama is over as the team has reached an agreement on a record extension with the player, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The deal, which will pay Garrett $40 million a year and guarantee him $123.5 million, also makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.

“From trade to truce and beyond: the Browns and Myles Garrett reached agreement today on a record contract extension that averages $40 million per year and includes $123.5 million in guaranteed money and now makes him the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history, sources tell ESPN. Garrett’s agent, Nicole Lynn of Klutch Sports and Browns GM Andrew Berry finalized the deal today,” Schefter reported on Sunday.

Previewing Boston’s 2024 NBA trade deadline possibilities with Jack Simone
The NBA’s 2024 trade deadline now perhaps better measured in hours than in days. And knowing what the range of possibilities that exists for the Boston Celtics to choose from to make moves to bolster their roster for a push to the 2024 NBA Finals is a good place to start. What can the Celtics do to get better? Which moves are more likely, and which make little sense? Who are the likely targets, and which ones might surprise us? More importantly, what is off the table for Boston’s front office, and which trade targets should the Celtics be pursuing?

Boston gets to work teambuilding with Gallinari deal, Brogdon trade with Kory Waldron
The Boston Celtics were, by most accounts, not going to make much if any moves until the weekend got here. But whether that was a smoke screen or whether a happy accident set the Celtics team building wheels into motion, the team that represented the NBA’s Eastern Conference in the 2022 NBA Finals just got quite a bit better. It started with the team landing long-coveted veteran wing Danilo Gallinari, and went into hyperdrive with the trade for Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon, the Celtics sending out a top-12 protected first-round pick, center Daniel Theis, wing Aaron Nesmith, and three rarely-played deep rotation players. To get a feel for how Brogdon will impact a Finals squad that gave up no core players to bring on the Indiana floor general, we brought on host of the Off the Glass “Full Access Pacers” podcast, Kory Waldron. Your usual hosts Alex Goldberg and Justin Quinn linked up with Waldron to talk all things Brogdon trade, Celtics team building, and plenty more offseason action.

“Sheesh! Just glad he didn’t go to Philly 😅” someone wrote.

“money more important than losing,” one wrote in the comments.

“Guess he didn’t care about winning as much as he said🤣,” someone else noted.

“I really want to be traded…How does $40 million a year sound???I really want to trade my house for a mansion…” another joked.

“Hahahaha don’t ever let anyone tell you that money doesn’t solve everything,” said a fourth.

Of course, $40 million a year would be tough for anyone to turn down. Even if they said the following:

“While I’ve loved calling this city my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won’t allow me to be complacent. The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl.

“With that in mind, I have requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns.”

It doesn’t appear that the Browns will be putting Garrett in a situation to win a Super Bowl anytime soon. They don’t have a reputation for great decision-making. But it appears he’s ready to settle for them making him rich.
