Blockbuster trade sends Myles Garrett to LA Rams in return for Jared Verse, draft picks

[True Dough]

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to trade two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams for two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Jared Verse and multiple draft picks, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero and ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Browns also will receive a first-round draft pick in 2027, a second-round pick in 2028 and a third-rounder in 2029, sources told ESPN, in what will be one of the biggest trades in NFL history involving a defensive player.

The shocking trade is completely on brand for the Rams, who made a similarly seismic move in the 2021 offseason when they traded for quarterback Matthew Stafford in the season in which the Super Bowl was being played in Los Angeles before going on to win it.

This is an indicator that the Rams are going for it this year. Meanwhile, the Browns continue to build toward the future.
