Browns' Myles Garrett has been offered a chance to play a different sport image

Myles Garrett is entering the 2025 NFL season on a gigantic new contract extension.

In the spring, after Garrett requested a trade, the Cleveland Browns gave him a four-year, $160 million deal that at the time was the biggest deal ever given to a defensive player.

Garrett seems like he'll be in Cleveland for the long haul, so the latest headlines about Garrett can be taken with a grain of salt.

They're still interesting, though.

Garrett has an offer on the table to go get paid money to play basketball.

Ice Cube, who runs the BIG3 basketball league, told TMZ Sports that he'd love to have Garrett take part in his league.

BIG3 is a 3-on-3 touring league that features a number of former NBA stars, like Dwight Howard.

"We'd love to see him, man," Ice Cube told TMZ. "Tell him to come and try  out... I think he'llb e a big body, great player."

Garrett was at the BIG3 championship watching his brother, Sean Williams, out on the court. Rachel Nichols was doing an interview at the event and asked Garrett about the league, and he shared that he'd enjoy the chance to play.

The Browns' superstar defensive end did play basketball in high school. He also has been known to throw down dunks in a variety of viral video clips, including a windmill during Cleveland Cavaliers warmups at Summer League.

Garrett is 29 and has a football contract to carry out.

But maybe when his NFL career is done, Garrett will take to the hardwood.
