The Cleveland Browns just can’t get rid of the injury bug. Browns’ star defensive end Myles Garrett suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday’s 29-17 loss to the Denver Broncos and was unable to finish the game.

Speaking with reporters after the game, Garrett said that he felt something “pop” in his shoulder. He is slated for an MRI test but is positive about being able to play.

“I’ve played through things that should have sidelined me before,” Garrett said. “I’m gonna continue to fight and gonna do what’s best for the team and for myself. We have high hopes for this season and what we’re gonna do. Nothing like this is gonna hold us back or me back.”

Garrett is currently considered a front-runner for the Defensive Player of the Year award. Through 11 games, he has 13.0 sacks, 23 QB hits, four forced fumbles and 32 tackles.

The Browns managed to survive several injuries to their key players in 2023, including losing star running back Nick Chubb and starting quarterback Deshaun Watson. A major reason for that was their exceptional defense led by Garrett. Losing him would be a devastating blow and would likely diminish their chances of making the playoffs.

The Browns were on a three-game winning streak before losing to the Broncos. They are currently sitting in third place in the AFC North with a 7-4 record.

Cleveland Browns know they have a special player in defensive end Myles Garrett and will pay him like one. According to ESPN’s Jake Trotter, Browns and Garrett are close to agreeing on a five-year, $125 million extension.

This extension would make Garrett the highest-paid non-quarterback player in the league. He would also become the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.

Garrett has two years left on his rookie deal, so this extension would bring him $144 million in the next seven years.

Browns and Garrett are expected to finalize the deal by Wednesday after the 24-year-old pass rusher passes his physical.

Myles Garrett entered the league in 2017 as Cleveland’s No.1 overall pick and managed to rack 30.5 sacks in the last three years. He also has 104 tackles, four pass deflections, and six forced fumbles to show for.

Garrett’s numbers would probably have been even bigger had he not miss six games last season due to suspension. He was suspended indefinitely after hitting Pittsburgh Steelers’ QB Mason Rudolph with a helmet after an altercation. The NFL reinstated him back in February.

Another member of the 2017 NFL Draft class might get paid soon. After the Carolina Panthers gave running back Christian McCaffrey a record extension in May, the Cleveland Browns are reportedly thinking about doing the same with defensive end Myles Garrett.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Browns and Garrett’s representatives recently engaged in contract talks and are discussing a “mega-extension” for the 24-year-old Pro Bowler.

Despite the fact that Garrett has two more years left on his deal, Fowler reports that Cleveland wants to do a deal early so they could get “ahead of a pricey pass-rush market.”

Myles Garrett, who was the first overall pick in 2017, is considered to be one of the best pass rushers in the NFL despite his short time in the league. Throughout the first three years of his career, Garret racked up 30.5 sacks despite starting only 35 games. Last season he averaged 1.0 sack per game.

Considering all of this, Browns knows that Garrett’s next deal will reset the market so would prefer to do it as soon as possible in order to avoid paying even more down the road. This is especially important knowing they will soon have to extend other young stars like quarterback Baker Mayfield, cornerback Denzel Ward, and running back Nick Chubb.

It is unclear how much Garrett might command with this next extension, but it is believed that the bottom line will be around $25 million a year. Chicago Bears’ Khalil Mack is currently the highest-paid pass rusher in the league with a $23.5 million yearly average.
