Browns: Twitter reactions to Myles Garrett inking mega-deal
Twitter had a heyday with the new contract extension between the Cleveland Browns and defensive end, All-Pro, and 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett.
Garrett agreed to a new deal worth $40 million per year with over $88 million in new guaranteed money to stay with the Browns through 2030. He has already stated that he will begin recruiting free agents to play for the Browns as NFL free agency begins on Monday (could a reunion with his buddy Za'Darius Smith be in order?).
So how was the new deal between the Browns and their superstar perceived? Some saw it as a money grab, some saw it as the only option the Browns had, and more. So let's take a look at all of the best reactions to be found on social media. Here are some of the best reactions found on Twitter as the Browns and Garrett melted the face off of the entire planet:

Congrats to client, Myles Garrett, on becoming the highest paid non-QB in NFL history!! A decade ago you took a meeting with a young agent just trying to catch a break. Three-years ago it all came back around full circle, when you chose me to be your agent. It is an absolute… https://t.co/XaqPqPB4qj

Say what you want about #Browns GM Andrew Berry but the way he handled this Myles Garrett situation was FANTASTIC.Stood his ground to keep a franchise piece. Most GMs are folding under the pressure and taking the best offer available. Instead, he gets Myles to sign an EXTENSION pic.twitter.com/29VUru1vtg

I love the 'uhhhh I got a reality check for Browns fans.'Yeah man, they know. Myles Garrett is also the best defensive player the team has ever had and most have a Garrett jersey somewhere in their closet. Fans can be excited someone great is staying. Pretty normal.

Not to harp on the Bengals and Cowboys (again) but the Myles Garrett deal really hammers home why their approaches of dragging stuff out is the worst way to do things.Two years ago they could have signed or traded Tee for 22M a year.A year ago they could have done Chase for…

I'm happy that this Myles Garrett stuff is all over. The best outcome has happened and Myles is in Cleveland for years to come. That being said, I think that Myles has some work to do to repair the damage that he has done with this fanbase. #DawgPound pic.twitter.com/SGyGWmGbfs

Good on Cleveland for showing an ounce of competency and not letting Myles Garrett become a Philadelphia Eagle. https://t.co/RiHFVKtVH5

Myles Garrett never had any leverage!He had two choices:a) Two seasons & two tags, then a FA in 2029b) Sign the biggest non QB deal ever signed Was only ever one outcome 👇 pic.twitter.com/hFRqJeoC07

Myles Garrett just got an extension worth $40 million per year, clearing Crosby's just-set-the-record extension by $5 million per, and I haven't seen one single person wonder if that's too big of a deal.Tells you everything you need to know about how good Garrett is.

Andrew Berry knew he couldn't go down as the GM that signed Deshaun Watson and lost Myles Garrett https://t.co/xiHxYwe46n

My son's response to the Myles Garrett contract extension: 'It's a miracle!'

Everyone who tweeted something nasty about Myles Garrett as a defense mechanism to rejection owes him an apology.
— Browns Alchemist (@BrownsAlchemy) March 9, 2025
Funny how money changes the perception of a team. See Myles Garrett. It's always about the money. Never forget it. And it should be.

Seattle man charged with string of burglaries at homes of NFL and MLB stars
Seattle man charged with string of burglaries at homes of NFL and MLB stars originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia A Seattle man was charged Friday with a string of burglaries at the homes of prominent current and former football and baseball players, marking the latest example of well-known athletes being targeted in home thefts. Earl Henderson Riley IV, 21, was charged with several counts of residential burglary in both occupied and unoccupied homes, along with first-degree robbery, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. Prosecutors say Riley was the ringleader in a series of burglaries that started in February and involved stealing more than $6,000 in Louis Vuitton bags from Seattle Mariners pitcher Luis Castillo's home and over $194,000 in high end purses and jewelry from the home of the team's center fielder Julio Rodriguez. The thefts also involved taking several watches worth more than $100,000 from former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman's home and a burglary at the home of Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell, who is from Washington, although nothing was stolen in that instance, according to court documents. Prosecutors say there was also an attempted burglary at baseball Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez's home. 'All people deserve to feel safe in their homes, and our office will continue to hold people accountable for criminal behavior,' King County Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion said in a statement. There have been a slew of burglaries at the homes of well-known professional athletes across the U.S. in recent months. The players have been targeted because of the high-end products believed to be in their homes and sometimes the thefts happen when they are away with their teams for road games. The FBI has warned sports leagues about crime organizations targeting professional athletes. The NFL and NBA have also issued security alerts after burglaries at the homes of such star athletes as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo obtained by The Associated Press in November, the NFL said the homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become 'increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.' Riley is being held in the King County Jail on $1 million bail. It was not immediately clear whether he has a lawyer. The King County Department of Public Defense did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press and a spokesperson from the prosecuting attorney's office did not know whether Riley had a lawyer. The charges were the result of a monthslong investigation in which the county's prosecuting attorney's office worked with six police jurisdictions. Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Gary Ernsdorff said in a statement that their work is not over. 'We still want to go and identify everybody who was involved and see if there are additional people that we can have sufficient evidence to charge,' he said. Riley is expected to enter his initial plea in court during his arraignment June 16. He has another pending case in King County Superior Court in which he is charged with attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle and unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree.

Colts Make Grim Anthony Richardson Injury Announcement
Colts Make Grim Anthony Richardson Injury Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Since being drafted No. 4 overall by the Indianapolis Colts in 2023, quarterback Anthony Richardson has yet to play a full season. Advertisement The 23-year-old missed 13 games during his rookie season after suffering a concussion and a season-ending injury to his right shoulder. Last season, he didn't suffer a major injury (he did miss one game with a hip sprain), but he was benched for six games for ineffectiveness in favor of Joe Flacco. Though Flacco is now in Cleveland, Richardson still isn't the unquestioned starter after the Colts signed former No. 6 overall pick Daniel Jones in the offseason to push and compete with Richardson in 2025.

Advertisement 'Per Shane Steichen - QB Anthony Richardson is dealing with a shoulder injury and will not participate in mini-camp next week,' the Colts announced on X. Richardson, who threw for 1,814 yards, eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions last season while rushing for another 499 yards and six touchdowns, reportedly experienced pain in his throwing shoulder after practice last week during OTAs. After getting his shoulder evaluated, Richardson was deemed to have reaggravated the same AC joint he injured during his rookie year and had surgery on, according to the Colts. Steichen didn't provide any sort of timetable for Richardson's return but said he expects it be to around when training camp starts in mid-to-late July. He's not expected to need another surgery. Advertisement Dating back to his college days with the Florida Gators, Richardson has a questionable medical history. He missed two games in September of 2021 with a hamstring strain and another game in November with a knee meniscus tear.

Steelers' First Post After Signing Aaron Rodgers Turns Heads
Steelers' First Post After Signing Aaron Rodgers Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After weeks that seemed like years, there's finally a resolution to the Pittsburgh Steelers-Aaron Rodgers saga. Advertisement The two sides had been playing an intense game of cat-and-mouse since Rodgers was officially released by the New York Jets back on March 13, and after Rodgers reportedly was rejected by the Minnesota Vikings, the Steelers emerged as the frontrunner to sign the four-time MVP. With Rodgers still unsigned back in April, some believed the Steelers were considering taking Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL draft. Sanders slipped to the fifth round before being snatched up by the Cleveland Browns, and the Steelers grabbed Ohio State QB Will Howard one round later. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers exits the field at MetLife Boland-Imagn Images With Howard clearly being drafted as a development project, it looked like Mason Rudolph was on track to start training camp as Pittsburgh's QB1 until the news everyone had been waiting for broke on Thursday and Rodgers was officially heading to Pittsburgh. Advertisement Hours after Gary Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette broke the news that Rodgers informed the team he was signing with them, the Steelers posted for the first time on X after the Rodgers news broke official confirming his signing. 'We have agreed to terms with QB Aaron Rodgers on a one-year contract, pending the completion of a physical,' the team posted on X. The official announcement caused quite a stir among the team's fan base, and while some were excited about Rodgers' signing, many others flooded the comment section, expressing their unhappiness with Pittsburgh's new starting QB. 'This feels cheap and desperate. This is not a Pittsburgh Steeler,' one fan scoffed. Advertisement 'Congrats. You just signed the THIRD best QB in the division 🤣🤣,' another fan quipped. 'LMAO yall be doing anything but getting a real QB,' a third fan joked. 'Bro he is NOT saving yall 😭😭😭,' one user stated. 'Steelers really fumbling the bag this offseason lmao,' another replied. 'Just what the team needs, a locker room distraction at QB,' remarked one fan. In his lone season with the Jets (he didn't play in 2022 due to a torn Achilles in the season opener), Rodgers completed 63% of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, and New York went just 5-12.
