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

The Cleveland Browns have traded Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, acquiring edge rusher Jared Verse along with a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick in return. Garrett, a future Hall of Famer, has been a cornerstone of the Browns' defense since his 2017 draft. The team felt the timing was right to make this franchise-altering decision. Verse, just 25 years old, is coming off a successful start to his career, including a Defensive Rookie of the Year award and two Pro Bowl selections. Reactions to the trade suggest that while the draft picks might seem underwhelming, adding an established young player like Verse is promising for Cleveland's future plans.
