Myles Garrett is staying in Cleveland after the Browns gave him a record four-year contract extension that makes the four-time All-Pro edge rusher the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

A person with knowledge of the details told The Associated Press that Garrett’s deal includes $122.8 million guaranteed, an average annual salary of $40 million with a total value of $204.8 million. The person spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity because terms weren’t announced.

Garrett, the 2023 AP Defensive Player of the Year, had asked for a trade last month but the Browns were adamant about keeping the 29-year-old star in Cleveland.

Garrett’s contract raises the bar for other non-QBs, including Bengals All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons. Cincinnati already has stated plans to make Chase the highest-paid non-QB in the league.

Garrett, a first-round pick in 2017, had 14 sacks and 22 tackles for loss last season. He has 102 1/2 sacks in his eight seasons with the Browns.

Adams agrees to contract with Rams

Receiver Davante Adams agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, bringing the three-time All-Pro back to his native California.

Adams’ deal could be worth up to $46 million with the Rams, who will move on from Super Bowl 56 MVP Cooper Kupp with Adams and Puka Nacua as the primary playmakers for Matthew Stafford.

The Jets released Adams last Tuesday, and Adams has quickly moved on from his longtime partnership with Aaron Rodgers. After eight years together in Green Bay, they spent 11 games together with New York, which acquired Adams from the Raiders last October.

Adams has been one of the NFL’s best receivers for nearly a decade, starting with his decorated tenure with the Packers. Adams has six career 1,000-yard receiving seasons, including an active streak of five consecutive years, along with two 997-yard seasons.

Adams appears to be exactly what the Rams needed after they decided early in the offseason to trade or to release Kupp, their most dependable receiver when healthy for the past eight seasons under Sean McVay. Kupp is due a $7.5 million roster bonus next weekend, so the Rams are likely to resolve his future before then.

Seahawks trading Metcalf to Steelers

The Seattle Seahawks are sending two-time Pro Bowler D.K. Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers for at least a second-round pick, sources with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Sunday night. The sources spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was not official.

Metcalf had requested a trade from the Seahawks last week. His exodus comes during a tumultuous stretch for Seattle, which released Tyler Lockett — the franchise’s second all-time leading receiver — last Wednesday and then dealt quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders late Friday.

The 27-year-old Metcalf will also receive a new five-year deal worth $150 million, giving Pittsburgh the kind of high-profile big-play wide receiver the club hasn’t had since Antonio Brown was traded in March 2019.

Allen agrees to contract extension with Bills

NFL MVP Josh Allen was rewarded Sunday with a contract extension worth $330 million, with $250 million of it guaranteed, which makes him among the league’s highest-paid players.

The Buffalo Bills announced the agreement, while two people with knowledge of the deal revealed the contract’s value to The Associated Press. The people spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the Bills did not release that figure, which was first reported by ESPN.com.

The new deal adds two years to Allen’s contract and locks the 28-year-old in through the 2030 season.

Bills to release Miller

The Buffalo Bills announced the long-anticipated decision to release Von Miller on Sunday, parting ways with the aging edge rusher whose contract proved too expensive for his dwindling playing time and production.

The move allows the Bills to free up about $8.4 million in salary cap space, which comes close to matching how much the team was projected to be over the limit before the NFL’s new year begins Wednesday. Nevertheless, a portion of Miller’s contract will remain on Buffalo’s books this year and is projected to count more than $15 million against the cap.

The 14-year veteran is the NFL’s active leader in sacks and set to turn 36 in two weeks. Miller avoided being released a year ago by agreeing to take a substantial pay cut to lower his cap number. It’s unclear if the two sides considered a similar contract restructuring this offseason.
