"Garrett's contract previously called for his option bonuses in 2026, 2027 and 2028 to be exercised by the 15th day of the league year. In the amended terms, that date has been pushed back to seven days before the regular season each year."
"Additionally, Garrett had $8 million of his base salary in 2029 and 2030 moved into roster bonuses early in each league year."
"The modifications have benefits to the team, as Cleveland now has more flexibility to create cap space in each year and Garrett has benefit with the modified option payments."
"Garrett was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year last month after setting the NFL's single-season sack record with 23 last season."
Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns have modified his contract, changing the option bonus exercise dates to seven days before the regular season. The adjustments also include moving $8 million of his base salary in 2029 and 2030 into roster bonuses. These changes provide the team with more cap space flexibility while benefiting Garrett with modified payment terms. Garrett, who signed a four-year extension last March, was recently named NFL Defensive Player of the Year after setting a single-season sack record.
