The Cleveland Browns officially signed defensive lineman Myles Garrett to a five-year, $125 million contract extension on Wednesday, and afterward, Garrett released a statement expressing his gratitude:

“In 2017, the Cleveland Browns bet on me,” Garrett said in a statement, via the Browns' Twitter account. “This city quickly became my home and these people quickly became my family. I’m eternally grateful for this opportunity, the support of my friends and family, the organization, my teammates, the fans — I could go on forever, but even that wouldn’t be enough time to express my gratitude. I’ll just say this: Keep betting on me, Cleveland, because I won’t let you down. Now, let’s get to work.”

Extending Garrett was said to be the Browns' top priority this offseason, and they were able to get the job done.

Myles Garrett is coming off of a 2019 campaign in which he registered 29 tackles, 10 tackles and a couple of forced fumbles. However, he was limited to just 10 games due to a suspension for his role in a Week 11 brawl between Cleveland and the Pittsburgh Steelers, in which Garrett ripped the helmet off of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and hit him over the head with it.

The 24-year-old was reinstated by the NFL earlier this offseason.

Garrett, who played his collegiate football at Texas A&M, was originally selected by the Browns with the first overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.

He played in 11 contests during his rookie year, finishing with 31 tackles, seven sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The following season, Garrett broke out, racking up 44 tackles, 13.5 sacks and three forced fumbles en route to a first-time Pro Bowl appearance.
