Garrett Signs

The Los Angeles Rams signed Myles Garrett, raising his 2026 salary to $37 million.
Deal adds $5.5 million in 2026, cuts 2027 pay by $10.7 million and 2028 pay by $5.2 million, lowering 2027 cap hit and blocking renegotiation until June 2028.
Garrett kept a $1 million workout bonus and gave up the 2027 guarantee.
