In the end, money talked.

The new deal puts Garrett under contract for the next six seasons. Along with getting his annual average to $40 million, the new pact includes $100 million in the first three years, $1 million in yearly workout bonuses and $88.8 million in execution guarantees, per Rapoport and Pelissero.

Funny enough, the deal also includes a no-trade clause.

Throughout the process, the Browns were staunchly insistent that they had zero intentions of trading the former AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Andrew Berry rebuffed every question on the subject and reportedly wouldn’t even discuss the matter with other clubs during the NFL Scouting Combine.

As Garrett’s side ramped up the push to get a trade, Berry’s commitment sometimes felt like a negotiating tactic. Ultimately, the steadfast pledge not to trade his best player proved true.

The Browns were always ready to pay Garrett top dollar. The club came through, blasting past Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby‘s new deal from just four days prior and completely resetting the market. Garrett is undoubtedly worth the coin, generating 44.0 sacks over the past three seasons, the most over that span in the NFL.
