The Cleveland Browns signed defensive end Myles Garrett to a five-year, $125 million contract extension Wednesday, making him the National Football League's highest-paid defensive player.

It comes after Garrett was suspended for six games last season for ripping off Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph’s helmet and hitting him in the head with it at the end of a game.

Garrett claimed he did it because Rudolph used a racial slur against him, but the quarterback denied it.
