"Myles Garrett indicated when he signed a record-breaking contract extension last year that money would not ease the disappointment of not contending for a playoff spot. The Browns dealt the two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year to the Rams for pass rusher Jared Verse and three draft picks. Garrett demanded a trade last year during Super Bowl week, but agreed to an extension one month later that made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history at the time.
