Myles Garrett’s Contract Extension Faces Early Turmoil as Browns Stumble to 0-2 Start

Myles Garrett entered the offseason with a desire for change, initially requesting a trade from the Cleveland Browns. However, he ultimately opted for stability, signing a lucrative four-year, $160 million contract extension to remain on Lake Erie’s shores. Little did he know the challenges that awaited him.

Disheartening Start to the Season

The Browns’ 2023 campaign has begun on a dismal note, with two losses in as many weeks. The season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals was a narrow defeat by just one point. Had kicker Andre Szmyt converted an extra point or a relatively straightforward field goal, the outcome might have been different.

The following week, however, the situation took a turn for the worse. Facing the Baltimore Ravens, who were celebrating three decades since their franchise’s inception—originally rooted in Cleveland—the Browns found themselves outmatched. What ended as a 41-17 blowout felt even more lopsided, with Garrett’s frustration palpable in his succinct assessment: “S—’s embarrassing.”

A Game of Missed Opportunities

Cleveland’s struggles were evident across all facets of the game. Offensive turnovers plagued their efforts, while defensive lapses allowed Ravens receivers to exploit open space with ease. It was a perfect storm of missteps that left fans disheartened and the team scrambling for answers.

In a desperate attempt to shake things up, the Browns made the unusual decision to bench veteran quarterback Joe Flacco in favor of rookie Dillon Gabriel. Gabriel, despite the circumstances, managed to throw a touchdown to fellow rookie Dylan Sampson, providing a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak outing.

Looking Ahead Amidst Challenges

As the Browns sit at an unflattering 0-2, the road ahead looks daunting. With a tough schedule looming, it’s a real possibility that losses will continue to accumulate. While Garrett’s disappointment is evident, the underlying issues within the roster’s talent level remain a pressing concern.

Cleveland must confront the reality of their situation. The early season setbacks not only impact morale but also raise questions about the team’s trajectory this year. As the Browns look to regroup, the pressure is mounting to turn things around before the season slips further away.
