Myles Garrett's cap hit with Rams is comparable to former teammate Hoecht

Myles Garrett's recent trade to the Los Angeles Rams from the Cleveland Browns includes a surprisingly low cap hit, averaging $15 million annually over three seasons. For 2026, his cap hit is set at $9.1 million, nearly the same as former Rams linebacker Michael Hoecht, now with the Buffalo Bills, who has a cap hit of $7.1 million. Garrett's performance exceeds Hoecht's significantly, as Garrett recorded 23 sacks last season alone. His cap hits will remain favourable for the Rams, allowing for broader roster flexibility in the coming years.
