The two sides have agreed to move the date that Garrett will be paid his option bonus from the 15th day of the league year to a week before the regular season’s first game. That covers 2026, 2027, and 2028.
Garrett agreed to have $8 million of his base salary converted into a roster bonus in 2029 and 2030.
The change means that the Browns will have some additional flexibility to create cap space in each of the next five years.
Garrett will now get some of his money earlier in the year in 2029 and 2030.
