Browns trade Myles Garrett to Rams for first-round pick and players

On June 1, the Cleveland Browns traded Myles Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, to the Los Angeles Rams. The move followed Garrett's dissatisfaction with the Browns and a salary cap shift that made the trade feasible. In return, the Browns receive a 2027 first-round pick, edge rusher Jared Verse, and additional draft considerations. This trade marks the seventh first-round pick dealt by Rams general manager Les Snead, who is noted for his talent acquisition strategies without relying heavily on first-round selections. The Rams bolster their defense with Garrett, aiming to remain contenders in the NFL.
