Browns Trade Myles Garrett to Rams
The Cleveland Browns announced a blockbuster trade that sends three‑time Pro Bowler Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, a move that culminates a whirlwind offseason for the franchise.
In return, the Browns acquire linebacker Jared Verse, the 2027 first‑round selection, along with a 2028 second‑round pick and a 2029 third‑rounder, a haul that could accelerate the rebuild of a team that has struggled to find consistency at the defensive end.
Garrett, who was crowned the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year after posting a league‑record 23.0 sacks in the 2025 regular season, is expected to thrive in a Rams defense that will likely enjoy more lead‑heavy game scripts than the Browns have managed in recent years.
The trade has sparked a flurry of analysis across the sports media landscape, with outlets such as the Akron Beacon Journal, ESPN, and The Athletic dissecting the strategic implications for both clubs and forecasting how the Rams’ pass rush will be reshaped.
