\"AfterPackers\u2019 unbeaten streak collides with Browns as Micah Parsons surpasses Myles Garrett in massive salary milestone (Getty Images) Micah Parsons promised Myles Garrett he wouldn\u2019t just match his $40-million-a-year deal \u2014 he would crush it. True to his word, the star pass rusher signed a four-year, $188 million contract with the Green Bay Packers, averaging $47 million annually after being traded from Dallas.

Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett headline a clash of elite pass rushers<\/p>\n

When news of Parsons\u2019 record-breaking deal broke, Garrett admitted his reaction was instant: \u201cHoly (expletive), he did it!\u201d The Browns\u2019 defensive anchor said he respected Parsons for both his play and his persistence. \u201cI\u2019m just glad to see him get what he\u2019s earned and he\u2019s worth every dollar. He\u2019s shown that.\u201dTheir paths to this point couldn\u2019t be more different. Garrett had earlier forced a standoff with Cleveland before mending ties, while Parsons left Dallas after what he described as a lack of respect from ownership during contract talks. Both, however, have emerged as the faces of modern defense \u2014 players who can change games on a single snap.Their bond strengthened this offseason while training together. Parsons praised Garrett\u2019s mentorship, admitting, \u201cIf you argued Myles is better, I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to probably say you\u2019re right.\u201d That humility, mixed with their fierce competitiveness, sets the stage for a duel that promises fireworks.<\/p>\n

Packers, Browns, and the stakes beyond the paycheck<\/p>\n

On the field, Garrett already has 3.5 sacks this season, tied for the league lead, while Parsons, despite a snap limit, has tallied 1.5 sacks and 11 pressures.

Parsons, younger but equally relentless, is chasing fast with 54 sacks since entering the league in 2021.The Packers are looking to extend their unbeaten run, while the Browns seek to avoid their first 0-3 start in nearly a decade. For both stars, the stakes go beyond contracts or friendship. As Garrett put it: \u201cThat\u2019s my brother on the other side of the field\u2026 but that\u2019s who I want to beat any time I step on the field.\u201dThis Sunday, respect turns into rivalry \u2014 and the NFL gets a matchup worthy of prime time.Also Read: Controversial Josh Allen kneeldown sparks Dolphins\u2013NFL discussions, Mike McDaniel believes ball was fumbled<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Packers\u2019 unbeaten streak collides with Browns as Micah Parsons surpasses Myles Garrett in massive salary milestone (Getty Images)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2054],"tags":[86,85,54,1864,2337,7,2702,491,40264,66802,6,66804,66803],"class_list":{"0":"post-381623","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-browns","8":"tag-browns","9":"tag-cleveland","10":"tag-cleveland-browns","11":"tag-cleveland-browns-news","12":"tag-clevelandbrowns","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-green-bay-packers-news","15":"tag-micah-parsons","16":"tag-micah-parsons-contract","17":"tag-myles-garrett-salary","18":"tag-nfl","19":"tag-nfl-week-3-preview","20":"tag-packers-vs-browns"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115233946730571286","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
