Les Snead pursued trade for Myles Garrett with Browns this offseason
Summary

Rams General Manager Les Snead detailed his efforts to acquire Myles Garrett from the Browns, calling it a process that spanned months. During an introductory press conference in Los Angeles, Snead explained how the discussions began in March after a contract modification made Garrett easier to trade. Despite offering a package of draft picks, the Browns showed reluctance, insisting on young pass rusher Jared Verse in return. After persistent negotiations, which extended into late May, the Rams moved forward with the trade as the June 1 deadline approached. Snead acknowledged Garrett's no-trade clause while expressing relief that the deal was finalized.
