Browns Trade Star DE Myles Garrett to Rams

The Rams reportedly added premier defensive star Myles Garrett from the Browns, with Cleveland receiving edge rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, and potentially additional draft compensation. Garrett, 30, signed a four-year, $160 million extension with Cleveland last season but had his contract adjusted earlier in the offseason, seemingly opening the door to a potential move. afsport.lat

Garrett is a five-time first-team All-Pro selection who set the NFL record with 23 sacks in a season and has at least 14 sacks in each of the past five years. Verse, who won the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award in 2024, was a Pro Bowl selection last season after posting 7.5 sacks, 27 QB hits and three forced fumbles. The Rams have been overhauling their defense this offseason, making this trade their latest major upgrade.
