Browns Restructure Myles Garrett's Contract, End Trade Rumors

On March 27th, the Cleveland Browns made a key in-house move this off-season by restructuring

star-defensive N Miles Garrett's contract ahead of the 2026 season.

This adjustment has fueled fresh trade talk, but the team quickly moved to squash those

rumors.

NFL Insider Mike Garofalo reports that the Browns are adamant about keeping Garrett and

that the contract's week had nothing to do with any trade.

Earlier this week on Good Morning Football, he emphasized the team's firm stance.

Fans and analysts remember Garrett's trade request back in early 2025, which led to a big

contract extension instead.

That history adds layers to the current buzz around his future in Cleveland.

Details of the restructure include shifting $8 million in base salary for 2029 and 2030

into early roster bonuses.

In bonuses for 2026 through 2028, now kicking seven days before the regular season, giving

Garrett more security.

While other teams might still eye Garrett's talent, the Browns have promised insiders

they're not shopping him, leaving the focus squarely on building for the upcoming year.
