MYLES GARRETT BECAME THE HIGHEST-PAID DEFENDER EVER
Garrett’s contract extension with the Browns was for $125 million over five years. During the 2020 season, Garrett earned both AFC player of the week and AFC player of the month honors and was selected to the All NFL All-Pro Team. The Browns entered the 2021 playoffs as underdogs against a Pittsburg Steelers squad that had dominated the AFC North for over a decade.
They went on to shock the world pulling off a nine-point upset. Afterward, they lost to the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs 22-17. On a related note, the same day Garrett signed his contract, the Kansas City Chiefs extended their Pro-Bowler defensive tackle Chris Jones on a 4y/$80M deal after a dominant performance in the Super Bowl that helped bring KC their first Championship in 50 years.
