Rams Acquire Garrett from Browns

The Los Angeles Rams have acquired three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns in a blockbuster trade.

The Rams reportedly sent edge rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, and potentially more draft compensation to Cleveland for Garrett, who signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Browns last season. Garrett, 30, is a five-time first-team All-Pro selection who set the NFL record with 23 sacks in a single season.

Verse, who won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2024, will now join the Browns as part of the deal. This move continues Los Angeles' defensive overhaul that began with acquiring cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs earlier in the offseason. mchezo.co.za
