Myles Garrett may have secured a massive $160 million contract extension with the Cleveland Browns, but that hasn't stopped questions from swirling around his long-term commitment to the team.
As trade rumors fade and the ink dries on the deal, new speculation has emerged—suggesting that the star defensive end might not be fully invested in staying in Cleveland for the long haul.
$160 Million contract locks
Garrett
in, yet raises doubts about long-term fit
Cleveland fans got what they wanted—on paper, at least. Myles Garrett isn't going anywhere for the next four years, thanks to a record-setting $160 million extension. But instead of widespread celebration, the move has sparked uncertainty about his mindset and motivation.
Local radio host Pat McGuire stirred the pot, saying,"Honestly Myles took the new contract, but he wasn't happy about it. You can see it in his body language. He doesn't really want to be in Berea right now." That take, fair or not, has fueled an offseason debate that refuses to die.

Before the extension, Garrett's name was swirling in trade rumors. For a moment, it seemed the Browns might actually part ways with their All-Pro edge rusher.

Then came the massive deal—swift, shocking, and possibly strategic. To some, it signaled Garrett's renewed commitment to Cleveland; to others, it looked like a calculated move by the front office to retain leverage and stability heading into a critical season.
From a personal perspective, it's not hard to understand the complexity. Garrett has deep roots in Cleveland. He's spent his entire NFL career there. But for a player of his caliber—still in his prime—championship aspirations matter.
And right now, Cleveland doesn't look like a team knocking on the Super Bowl door.
Garrett's professionalism has never been in question, but his passion and presence will be under the microscope this season. A strong start could silence the doubters. But if the Browns stumble, or if Garrett looks disengaged, the whispers about his future will only grow louder.

JaMarr Chase Baker Mayfield and Travis Hunter spark new MVP debate as non favorites take the lead (Image via Getty) The 2025 NFL MVP talk is heating up, and it's not just about the big names like Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen. This year, a few surprising players have entered the conversation. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, two-way rookie Travis Hunter, and experienced quarterback Baker Mayfield are now being called 'dark horses' for the award. Fans are shocked. How did these three end up in the MVP race? What did they do to earn this spotlight? Their journeys are different, but all three have shown something special that's now hard to ignore. Ja'Marr Chase Travis Hunter and Baker Mayfield listed as MVP dark horses for 2025 On June 17, 2025, and various other sites focused on Ja'Marr Chase, Travis Hunter, and Baker Mayfield as dark horse candidates for the 2025 MVP race. Ja'Marr Chase is a talented wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals who had a solid 2024 season with some monster catches and massive yards even as the team struggled. His current MVP odds are +10000, a pretty uncommon spot for a wide receiver. Travis Hunter, the rookie phenom selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in April 2025 shocked many by being on that list of potential MVP candidates. Travis Hunter, only 21, plays on both sides of the ball — wide receiver and cornerback — something no one has done in the league at this level in recent years. His college career at Colorado ended with several honors, including the 2024 AP Player of the Year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Sportswriter Judy Battista called him 'a rare kind of player who could change MVP voting forever.
