Myles Garrett opted to return to the Cleveland Browns over the weekend on a record-setting contract extension that will pay him $40 million per year with $123.5 million guaranteed, the largest annual salary for a defensive player in NFL history.

Myles Garrett, who recently signed a record-setting extension just weeks after publicly asking for a trade, says he and the Browns are in a "better place" and ready to "turn Cleveland into a winner."

Garrett said his trade request and insistence that he was ready to play for a contender were "necessary" to further the conversation.
