Texas A&M football legend is now the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history

Texas A&M football legend Myles Garrett has agreed to one of the biggest contracts in NFL history. Garrett recently put pen to paper, earning $40 million a year with $123 million guaranteed.

It was just a few weeks ago when Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry was holding Garrett against his will, calling him unmovable.

This turned into a standstill situation with Garrett and the Browns, with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam saying that he wasn't willing to negotiate with any other teams about trading Garrett. This was followed by Garrett saying that he would be going on strike by missing ball games.

This all turned into an improbable scenario of Garrett putting pen to paper for the Browns, signing one of the biggest contracts in NFL history. Garrett's contract is what we all were predicting from the Maxx Crosby trade. NFL GM's are now in tough spots looking to match Crosby, and now, Garrett.

Garrett contract sets a further precedent for other defensive ends

With Garrett now earning the most by a non-quarterback, this sets a precedent for other defensive ends like Trey Hendrickson, T.J. Watt and Aidan Hutchinson.

Garrett's contract was definitely earned. He's been one of the best pass rushers of the last five years, and it was time that he got awarded properly for it. Garrett also said that he didn't care about the money, but at the same time, accepted this contract when it's pretty clear the Cleveland Browns aren't going to be going anywhere.

Unless something massive changes on the offense, things aren't going to matter for the Browns, at least for the time being. Garrett is worth the money though, and it's a credit to the Browns office for staying true to their word of keeping Garrett "unmovable" by offering him a contract he couldn't refuse.
