Rams Front-Load Myles Garrett Deal After Browns Trade

The Los Angeles Rams reworked Myles Garrett’s contract after acquiring him from the Cleveland Browns, moving guarantees earlier by pushing the vesting date back and adjusting end-of-deal option/workout bonuses to front-load more money into year one.
