Defensive end Garrett nearing agreement on big deal with Browns

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

NFL Network reported the extension at five years and $125 million, which would make Garrett — the No. 1 overall pick in 2017 — the league’s highest-paid defensive player.

Garrett has recorded 30½ career sacks in 37 games.
