Cleveland Browns fans are in the lurch regarding Myles Garrett contract talks. Until now.

Myles Garret’s season came to an early end last year. This after the defensive end swung his helmet at Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Mason Rudolph in November. The incident led the NFL to suspend him for the remainder of the season.

Despite the incident and the fact that Garrett missed the remainder of the season because of his actions, the Cleveland Browns are reportedly working on a long-term contract with Garrett. Myles was recently reinstated by commissioner Roger Goodell.

Garrett, who has two years left on his deal after the Browns picked up his fifth-year option, could become the second player in the 2017 NFL Draft to have their contract extended after three seasons. Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, who was in the same draft class, got his contract extended earlier in the offseason. The class of 2017 has shown poise.

“We do see Myles as a long-term member. A pillar in our organization,” Andrew Berry told 105.7 the Fan Baltimore last month. “Great player, great person. Obviously, he did make a mistake last year. That he’s learned from. But our confidence in and faith in Myles has not wavered and we’re looking to seeing what he does this year and certainly for years to come.”
