Rams acquire Myles Garrett, details emerge on contract and cap impact

The Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns on June 1, 2026. Garrett's contract, a four-year deal worth $160 million, features a manageable cap hit of $8.14 million in 2026 and increases each year, peaking at $57.99 million in 2029. Los Angeles effectively takes on three years of the deal valued at $98.8 million, which is deemed a bargain given the projected value for elite edge rushers. The trade frees up some cap space in 2027 as the Rams will incur less dead money from the trade of a previous player. This strategic move positions the Rams for a competitive push in the coming seasons.
