The Cleveland Browns have traded Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. The deal includes Jared Verse and a 2027 first-round pick, signaling a shift in the Browns' direction as they focus on rebuilding. This trade suggests that the Browns are unlikely to contend for a playoff spot in 2026, influencing their quarterback strategy moving forward as Deshaun Watson is set to become a free agent and Dillon Gabriel's potential remains uncertain. The extra draft capital places the Browns in a position to target a top quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft.
