Browns trade Myles Garrett to Rams for Jared Verse and draft picks

The Cleveland Browns traded defensive star Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams on June 1. In exchange, the Browns received Jared Verse, a first-round draft pick, a second-round draft pick, and a third-round draft pick. Cleveland prioritized acquiring a young pass rusher to replace Garrett, with Verse being their preferred option. Despite not yet matching Garrett's impact, Verse has shown potential, recording 100 quarterback pressures in 2025. He will turn 26 this year and has three years of control remaining under his contract, including a fifth-year option.
