NFL Contracts & Salary

Cleveland Browns Contracts & Earnings

After being selected by the Cleveland Browns as the first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Myles Garrett signed a four-year, $30.4 million rookie contract with the team. The deal was fully guaranteed and included a $20.2 million signing bonus, which was the main reason he earned $20.7 million in his rookie season. Garrett’s earnings under the second and third years of the agreement were $1.85 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

In 2020, Garrett negotiated a new deal with the Browns worth $125 million over five years. He was guaranteed $43.5 million at signing and received a $21 million signing bonus. This contract, which concluded at the end of the 2024 season, consistently earned Myles between $17 million and $22 million per year.

Here’s where things get interesting. In 2025, Garrett negotiated a new four-year, $160 million extension with Cleveland, paying him an average annual salary of $40 million. However, after just a single season, he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams, where his contract was restructured.

Los Angeles Rams Contract

Myles Garrett was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in June 2026, and reports suggest that his contract has been renegotiated into a five-year, $208.2 million deal. However, only $99 million is guaranteed. The structure of the agreement provides for Garrett to receive a base salary of $1.3 million in 2026, plus a $35.7 million signing bonus.

His salary projections for the other years under the deal are as follows:

• 2027 – $32 million
• 2028 – $30 million
• 2029 – $40 million
• 2030 – $40 million

Thus far in his career, Myles Garrett has earned $150.6 million, but is projected to earn at least an additional $179 million over the next five years.

Endorsements

Like most professional NFL players, Myles Garrett has typically earned low to mid-six figures annually from endorsement deals. When Forbes ranked him as the 26th highest-paid athlete in the world for 2021, they estimated his income from brand deals at just $500,000 per year. Not an insufficient income by any means, but not a high enough figure to become a significant driver of his wealth. 

Garrett earned this figure through partnerships with several brands, including his Nike sponsorship. While Myles never signed a signature shoe deal with the company, he was presumed to be on an upper-tier pay scale. He also partnered with BodyArmor, Call of Duty, Head & Shoulders, and Panini America. In recent years, Garrett has starred in several commercials, the most notable of which promoted OIKOS, a high-protein Greek yogurt. He also appeared in additional commercials for Sony and Taco Bell.

How Myles Garrett Spent His First $1 Million

Thanks to GQ Sports and its “My First Million“ series, we can gain insight into how some of the most successful athletes spend their money. In the series, GQ interviews athletes, including NFL and NBA players and professional boxers, and breaks down how they spent their first million dollars. We’ve already discussed the spending by other athletes, such as Tyler Herro and Cam Jordan. In April 2023, Myles Garrett was another athlete to feature in the series. 

Before we get into it, there are a couple of things worth mentioning. In these interviews, some athletes discuss the first million dollars they actually spent, while others discuss how they spent the first million dollars they earned. There’s a very key difference between the two. For example, in Cam Jordan’s case, it took him over five years to spend $1 million, and by that point, he’d already earned more than $20 million in the league.

With that in mind, here’s how Myles Garrett spent his first $1 million:

• BMW M6 (Gift for Dad) – $130,000
• Upgraded his Mother’s wedding ring – $20,000
• Ohio townhouse – $200,000
• Porsche 911 Turbo S – $220,000
• Rolex – $50,000
• 10-acre plot of land – $260,000
• Winter wardrobe – $40,000
• Miscellaneous – $80,000

Okay, so a few things to break down here. Most of these purchases were made during Myles Garrett’s rookie year, as he described in the video. However, his rookie year earned him nearly $21 million, thanks to his signing bonus. Nonetheless, we see all the purchases typical of a professional athlete, including cars, watches, fashion items, and gifts for family.

Garrett also allocated roughly 46% to property, including a 10-acre plot in Ohio where he planned to build. He later canceled those plans and sold the land for approximately $300,000.

Real Estate

According to reports, in November 2018, Myles Garrett paid $1.26 million for a 4,570-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Wadsworth, Ohio. This home is currently valued at $1.7 million. His other known real estate investments we’ve already covered.

Introduction

Bradley Cooper is an American professional actor and filmmaker with an estimated net worth of $100 Million. 

Although most people know him from The Hangover Trilogy, many of his biggest paydays have come later in his career. Cooper’s films have grossed $13.05 billion worldwide, placing him among the top ten highest-grossing actors of all time.

This is primarily due to his voice-acting role as Rocket within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cooper has worked on six films voicing the character, earning an estimated $25-$30 million.

His single largest payday came from banking on himself by forfeiting his salary from A Star Is Born, a movie he directed, produced, and co-wrote. The film is currently the eleventh-highest-grossing of his career, earning him an estimated $40 million.

Quick Facts

• Only received $600,000 for the original The Hangover film
• Earned roughly $50 million from The Hangover trilogy
• Forfeited salary for A Star is Born to re-invest in production
• Earned an estimated $40 million from A Star is Born (10% backend)
• He was paid $5 million to voice Rocket in Avengers: Infinity War
• Potentially earned between $25-$30 million from Marvel

Earnings & Salary

The Hangover Trilogy Salaries

Cooper’s earliest recorded salaries originate from his breakthrough role as Phil in The Hangover trilogy. Although the first movie in the franchise had a $35 million production budget, the four prominent cast members were paid less than $1 million each. Cooper was reportedly paid the most, at $600,000, due to his greater star power than that of Helms, Galifianakis, and Bartha. 

The film grossed $469 million at the box office despite Warner Bros.’ doubts, which led to two higher-paying sequels for the cast. When a new deal was negotiated for The Hangover Part II, all four prominent cast members received a $5 million salary plus 4% of the backend gross profits. The movie grossed $587 million worldwide against a $80 million budget, earning each actor an estimated $20 million. Including their upfront salary, this became a $25 million payday for Cooper.

For the third movie in the trilogy, the actors were now asking for a $15 million upfront salary plus a backend percentage. While the exact percentage remains undisclosed, it was likely close to 4%. However, The Hangover Part III struggled at the box office, bringing in just $362 million on a much higher $103 million budget (presumably due to inflated cast salaries). The cast would have earned roughly $25 million apiece for the third installment if our calculations are correct.

This would put Cooper’s earnings from the trilogy at $51 million. The exact number will likely be between $45 and $55 million.

A Star is Born Earnings

Cooper’s 2018 passion project, A Star Is Born, which featured Lady Gaga, was the highest payday of his career. In addition to starring in the film with Gaga, Cooper co-wrote the script and directed and produced it. He forfeited his upfront salary to reinvest in the production budget. His share was roughly 10%, earning him $40 million on a film that grossed $435 million.

Marvel Salary

Cooper has voiced the character of Rocket in three Guardians of the Galaxy films, two Avengers films, and Thor: Love and Thunder. He earned roughly $5 million for Avengers: Infinity War, and Pratt also earned $5 million by playing Star-Lord in the movie. The cast was paid lower salaries for the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films, and while Cooper’s salary has not been disclosed, he could have earned $3-$5 million from Vol. and Vol. 2 combined. 

For the third movie, Pratt’s salary increased dramatically to $20 million, so it’s anybody’s guess as to how much Cooper earned. His earnings likely ranged from $25 million to $30 million across the six MCU films he’s worked on.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Cooper’s role voicing Rocket in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is responsible for six of his ten highest-grossing movies. The character appeared in both Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War, which grossed over $2 billion apiece at the global box office, for a combined $4.85 billion. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1-3 grossed $2.5 billion, and Thor: Love and Thunder grossed $761 million. 

Joker is an outlier in the list, as Cooper didn’t act in the film but helped co-produce it. It grossed $335 million domestically and $1.08 billion worldwide against a budget of just $55 million.

Here’s a complete list of Bradley Cooper’s ten highest-grossing movies:

1. Avengers: Endgame – $2.8 Billion (2019)
2. Avengers: Infinity War – $2.05 Billion (2018)
3. Joker – $1.08 Billion (2019)
4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 – $864 Million (2017)
5. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – $846 Million (2023)
6. Guardians of the Galaxy – $773 Million (2014)
7. Thor: Love and Thunder – $761 Million (2022)
8. The Hangover Part II – $587 Million (2011)
9. American Sniper – $548 Million (2014)
10. The Hangover – $469 Million (2009)
