The Cleveland Browns have traded Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams as of June 1, 2026. This trade stems from the NFL's June 1 rule, which allows teams to restructure contracts and open up salary cap space. The Browns gain Jared Verse and a 2027 first-round pick in return. The restructure of Garrett's contract made it possible to trade him without incurring significant dead cap penalties until after June 1. Five teams collectively gained over $60 million in cap space due to this rule, facilitating potential trades across the league.
