Browns EDGE Myles Garrett finalized a contract extension Sunday averaging 40 million dollars per year, with 123.5 million dollars guaranteed, per league sources. The deal, which includes a no-trade clause, ties Garrett to Cleveland through 2030 after he pushed for a trade in February—a request the team refused to consider. Drafted first overall in 2017, Garrett has piled up double-digit sacks for seven straight seasons and claimed the Browns’ first Defensive Player of the Year award in 2023, cementing his elite status.

Garrett’s megadeal keeps him a fantasy IDP cornerstone—his sack streak and 2023 DPOY nod make him a no-brainer top EDGE pick. Staying in Cleveland with a no-trade clause ensures lineup stability, a boon for dynasty leagues counting on his elite production. His 2024 numbers held strong despite team woes, so expect more of the same in 2025. Non-IDP players won’t blink, but he’s a lock for early IDP drafts—book it.
