"This 2025 season has him on the brink of the record books, though. Garrett has recorded a career-high 18 sacks in 11 games, including 14 in the past five. With six games remaining in the regular season, Garrett is five sacks away from breaking the single-season sack record of 22.5 that is shared by Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan and current Pittsburgh Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt."
"Garrett's 18 sacks are more than three teams have this season ( Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers). The 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year (and overwhelming favorite to win the award this season), Garrett has turned in a potentially historic season, even with the Browns' continued struggles on offense and the franchise headed for its seventh losing season since he was drafted."
"In February, Garrett requested a trade in hopes of landing with a contending team. In March, he recommitted to the organization with a then-record-setting extension that averages $40 million per year. Less than 10 months later, Garrett, who turns 30 on Dec. 29, is on the verge of smashing the record that Strahan set in 2001 and Watt equaled in 2021."
Myles Garrett, the No. 1 overall pick in 2017, has compiled a career-best 18 sacks in 11 games, including 14 over the past five. He stands five sacks short of the single-season sack record of 22.5 held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt, with six regular-season games remaining. Garrett’s sack total exceeds the full-season totals of three NFL teams. He was the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year and is the overwhelming favorite again. Garrett requested a trade in February but signed a then-record extension in March averaging $40 million per year.
