Is he a top 5 player at his position?

Saw this coming. Not the actual numbers, but a long-term deal and top-3 money. Browns needed to do this. Garret is the linchpin of their D.

Probably a top 3 or 4.

I just looked. Seems he's ranked in the top 5 DE on some sites.

Avg a sack a game until he hit Rudolph.

He is top 5 at using a helmet as a weapon.

Yes.

Probably the best true 4-3 DE in the game. Kid's an absolute monster and among the first few guys in the league I'd look to build a defense around.

Just keep a helmet out of his hands.

He’ll never sniff a ring.

Well, when he's not getting himself suspended for the rest of the season.

And he followed that up with a Bubba Smollett fake racism accusation.

Probably not.

But when all is said and done, many great players don't. Might as well get rich now and consider ring chasing in 5-6 years.

There's no room at the inn here in KC for at least 3-4 seasons (when Clark ages out) so we'll gladly offer him a nice landing spot then. Mahomes will need some veteran leadership around by then to break in a new crew for his next wave of titles by about 2024 so things should dovetail nicely.
