The Cleveland Browns initiated a significant roster change by trading Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. In exchange, the Browns received defensive end Jared Verse, a first-round pick in 2027, a second-round pick in 2028, and a third-round pick in 2029. Despite previous attempts at rebuilding, the franchise has struggled, particularly at the quarterback position, leading to a disappointing 5-12 season last year. With Deshaun Watson's future uncertain after a poor performance, the team is now focusing on potentially drafting a new quarterback. The Browns aim to capitalize on their 2025 NFL Draft success and additional draft capital as they seek improvement in the upcoming season.
