The Los Angeles Rams have traded with the Cleveland Browns to acquire two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett. In exchange, the Rams will send pass rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick to Cleveland. Garrett, a seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro, set the NFL single-season record for sacks last season with 23. He waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the move and will have a cap hit of $8.14 million in 2026. The trade strengthens the Rams' defense, which now includes both Garrett and cornerback Trent McDuffie.
