The Los Angeles Rams have traded for Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns, sending EDGE Jared Verse and draft picks for 2027, 2028, and 2029 in return. Garrett, coming off a record-setting 23 sacks in 2025, adds significant firepower to the Rams' defense as they aim for a Super Bowl run after narrowly missing out last season. The Rams have also bolstered their secondary by acquiring cornerbacks Trent McDuffie via trade and Jaylen Watson through free agency. The trade marks a pivotal shift for Garrett, who is among the top defensive players in NFL history.
