Alright, so listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about this Myles Garrett fella and his big ol’ contract with them Cleveland Browns. Don’t you worry, I’ll make it plain as day, just like Ma used to make biscuits.
First off, this boy, Myles, he plays football. You know, the game where them big fellas run around and knock each other down? Yeah, that one. He’s real good at it, real good at sacking the other team’s quarterback. That’s why them Browns gave him a whole heap of money. We’re talking a five-year deal, a whoppin’ $125,000,000! Can you even imagine that much money? I sure can’t. I’d be buyin’ a whole lotta chickens.
Now, out of that $125 million, a good chunk of it is guaranteed. That means even if he gets hurt or somethin’, they still gotta pay him. We’re lookin’ at $100,000,000 guaranteed. That’s enough to buy a whole lotta land, let me tell ya. They gave him a big ol’ bonus just for signin’ on the dotted line too, somethin’ like $21,000,000. Shoot, with that kind of money, I could buy a new tractor and finally get that back forty plowed proper.
This contract, it keeps him playin’ for the Browns for a while, see? Through the 2026 season, they say. And every year, he’s makin’ an average of $25,000,000. That’s more money than most folks see in a lifetime. Makes you wonder what a fella does with all that cash. Probably buys fancy cars and big houses, I reckon.
They also gave him some money up front, a good $43.5 million right when he signed. That covered his salary for a couple of years and some other bonus. Seems like they really wanted to keep him around. Can’t say I blame them, good players are hard to come by.
Now, I heard tell that this Myles fella, he ain’t just about football. He went and bought himself a piece of that basketball team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Imagine that! A football player ownin’ a basketball team. Guess he figured he had some extra cash lyin’ around. They say he’s gonna be a “brand ambassador” too. Don’t rightly know what that means, but it sounds fancy.
- Contract length: 5 years
- Total value: $125,000,000
- Guaranteed money: $100,000,000
- Signing bonus: $21,000,000
- Average annual salary: $25,000,000
- Upfront guarantee at signing: $43,500,000
They also talkin’ ’bout tradin’ him sometimes, but that would cost a pretty penny. See, when you got a player this good, other teams gotta give up a whole lot to get him. It ain’t just about money, it’s about draft picks and other players too. Don’t see that happenin’ anytime soon, though. Browns seem to like him just fine where he is.
They also mentioned another player, Nick Chubb, got a contract too. Not as big as Myles’, but still a good chunk of change. Three years, $36,600,000, they say. He got a $12,000,000 signin’ bonus and $20,000,000 guaranteed. This year, he’s gonna make almost $12 million, but the team’s gonna count it as over $15 million against their cap. And if they let him go, they still gotta pay him $4 million. It’s all a bunch of numbers, but it means these fellas are gettin’ paid real well to play football. More than I ever made sellin’ my pies at the county fair, that’s for sure.
So, there you have it. That’s the lowdown on Myles Garrett’s contract. A whole lotta money for a whole lotta football. Hope you understood it all, I tried to make it as simple as I could. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens.
