Myles Garrett's $160 Million Nightmare: Star Unleashes on "Embarrassing" Browns After Defensive Collapse

CLEVELAND, OH – The ink on his record-setting contract was supposed to signify a commitment to winning. Instead, just two games into the season, it’s funding a front-row seat to what Myles Garrett is calling a complete and utter embarrassment. After a catastrophic second-half collapse against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, the Cleveland Browns' star defensive end held nothing back, delivering a scathing verdict on his team's shocking performance.

The Browns were not just beaten; they were humiliated in a 41-17 blowout loss to their AFC North rivals. The game saw their highly-touted defense completely unravel after halftime, surrendering an astounding 31 points in a defensive meltdown that sent the team spiraling to a dismal 0-2 start. For Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, the pathetic display was more than he could stomach.

"I mean, this s*** is embarrassing," a visibly frustrated Garrett told reporters post-game, according to Cleveland.com. "And we've got to be better on defense, we've got to be better as a team... They slowly chipped away. We did a solid job holding it to three..." his voice trailed off, unable to finish the thought as the final score spoke for itself.

This explosive frustration is a dramatic turn from the narrative the Browns tried to build this offseason. It was only last year that Garrett, on the eve of the Super Bowl, publicly agitated for a trade, expressing a burning desire to leave Cleveland for an immediate title contender. His future in orange and brown seemed all but over.

In a stunning reversal, however, Garrett recommitted to the franchise with a monumental four-year, $160 million extension. The deal, which briefly made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history, was framed by the All-Pro as a decision driven by a belief in the team’s trajectory, not the paycheck. He was staying to win.

Now, that championship rhetoric has been replaced by the harsh reality of a winless record and a defensive identity in shambles. The man paid to be the cornerstone of a contending roster is now the first one to sound the alarm on a potentially sinking ship. For a player who once questioned the organization's ability to win, this disastrous start is a nightmare scenario realized. The season is still young, but with their leader openly broadcasting his disgust, the Browns' foundation is already showing serious cracks.
