Rams acquire Myles Garrett; Lions consider defensive moves
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams traded for Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns, sending Pro Bowl edge rusher Jared Verse and several draft picks in return. This significant acquisition raises questions for the Detroit Lions regarding potential roster moves. While general manager Brad Holmes has preferred to build through the draft, the Lions may explore options like Maxx Crosby of the Raiders or T.J. Watt of the Steelers if circumstances shift during the season, particularly if their current defense struggles. For now, the Lions appear satisfied with their lineup as they head into the offseason.
