Defensive end Garrett, Browns talk $125M contract extension

Cleveland is closing in on a contract extension with star defensive end Myles Garrett, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Garrett, the No. 1 overall pick in 2017 and one of the NFL’S top edge rushers, and the team could have the deal completed in the next day or so, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks.

NFL Network reported the extension could be for five years and $125 million, which would make Garrett the league’s highestpaid defensive player. The Browns have been discussing the extension with Garrett and his representatives for months.

Chiefs: Kansas City and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones agreed to a fouryear contract that could be worth up to $85 million. The deal for Jones includes $60 million in guarantees, a person familiar with the terms told The Associated Press.

Eagles: Philadelphia signed nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters to a one-year deal and plan to use him at right guard.
