Garrett is a Hall of Fame player, but it was in the team's best interest to deal him because of where it resides and his career timeline.

Garrett was on the receiving end of some criticisms regarding a supposed lack of leadership qualities long before he publicly made it known in early February he wanted to be traded to an advertised championship contender.

The saga between Myles Garrett and the Browns has come to a lucrative end. The superstar defensive end inked a four-year extension on Sunday. The deal averages $40 million per year and included $123 million in guaranteed money, according to ESPN, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
