There is a lot of attention on the Cleveland Browns<\/a> this offseason, and not just because of Todd Monken, Shedeur Sanders, and their entire offensive line renovation.<\/p>\n

A lot of the focus is on a potential Myles Garrett trade. Once again, his name is being thrown around in trade rumors.<\/p>\n

However, an update from ESPN’s Dan Graziano<\/a> revealed the “more likely” outcome with Garrett this offseason that isn’t a trade, but rather an even greater commitment from the Cleveland front office.<\/p>\n

Browns ‘more likely’ to extend Garrett than trade him<\/p>\n

“I think it’s more likely that Myles Garrett gets another contract bump from the Browns this offseason than gets traded,” Graziano said.<\/p>\n

While the Browns could land a ridiculously impressive haul of players and draft picks if they dealt Garrett to any team, contender or not, they’re not expected to make such a move.<\/p>\n

In fact, Graziano believes it’s more likely for Cleveland to extend Garrett, coming off his record-breaking 23-sack season, than that the odds are he’s traded.<\/p>\n

Garrett surely would land a massive haul, but an even bigger contract extension than his $160 million four-year contract is seemingly the more likely outcome.<\/p>\n

It’s a massive deal, but he’s not even the highest-paid defensive end, or even the second or third-highest paid player at his position. He’s the fifth-highest-paid player at the position.<\/p>\n

A $40 million per-year deal is behind Danielle Hunter’s $40.1 million, T.J. Watt’s $41 million, Aidan Hutchinson’s $45 million, and Micah Parson’s $46.5 million deal.<\/p>\n

Cleveland giving Garrett a pay raise, potentially to make him the highest-paid player at his position, would be a very bold move, especially one year after signing his $160 million deal.<\/p>\n

But, such a new deal, in the eyes of Graziano, is more likely to happen than the Browns trading Garrett. If this rumor doesn’t shut the door on a Garrett trade (barring new information), then there’s not much that would shut down trade rumors.<\/p>\n
