Overview
- Myles Garrett was not at the Browns’ voluntary veteran minicamp Tuesday, drawing attention because it is the first on-field work under the new coaching staff.
- Head coach Todd Monken said the sessions are optional and that he expects Garrett to be ready when activities become mandatory.
- Monken said he has only exchanged brief texts with Garrett and has not met him in person since taking the job.
- The Browns adjusted Garrett’s contract in March by moving option-bonus deadlines and shifting some pay into bonuses, which fueled trade chatter that the team leadership has repeatedly denied.
- Skipping this week’s workouts likely voids a reported $1 million participation bonus, and attention now turns to the mandatory minicamp that begins June 9.
