It just used to be that teams would make most of their major moves, whether that was in NFL free agency or trades, shortly after the league year opened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Creative contracts and creative front offices have made things a bit more interesting year-round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With the 2026 draft around the corner and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawgsbynature.com\/cleveland-browns-discussion\/121715\/browns-fans-myles-garrett-offseason-activities\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Garrett not attending the start of voluntary programs<\/a>, trade discussions have restarted in the media. According to Dan Graziano, the most likely outcome isn\u2019t a trade or Garrett just sticking around, but an extension\/pay bump of some kind:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">An interesting third option given that Garrett signed a huge extension last offseason and has already seen an additional $8 million moved into an upfront roster bonus in the last two seasons of the deal. On the other hand, since Garrett signed his contract extension, he has been passed by four edge rushers getting paid more than him ($40 million) on a yearly basis:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Besides trying to keep Garrett happy, giving him another bump in pay one year after his big trade demand and media circuit saying why he wants out of Cleveland doesn\u2019t seem to fit. Then again, there are some that do not understand why the team would trade Garrett, and others who don\u2019t see a reason to keep him on the Browns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A little illogical all around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Do you think the Browns will really give Garrett a pay bump just one year after his recent extension? If so, how much do you think he should be making per year?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Share your thoughts with us in the comment section below<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In many ways, the NFL used to have a little more rigid timelines for when things happen.
