Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry spent 2019 with the Philadelphia Eagles, a franchise that has often been aggressive about getting ahead of market prices on star players and signing them to deals a year earlier than typically expected.
It appears Berry is sticking with that formula.
The Cleveland Browns are close to reaching a long-term contract extension with star defensive end Myles Garrett, sources told Yahoo Sports. The deal is valued at $125 million for five seasons and includes $50 million guaranteed.
The potential deal could keep the Browns ahead of a pass-rush market that is expected to trail only quarterbacks as the highest-paid position in the NFL.
