Rams trade for Myles Garrett, impacting Byron Young's contract situation
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams acquired pass rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns, sending EDGE Jared Verse and multiple draft picks in return. Garrett joins former Vol Byron Young to form a formidable pass-rushing duo. The trade complicates Young's contract extension prospects, as reports indicate the Rams may not extend their pending free agents this summer, potentially delaying Young's pay until after the 2027 season. Despite this, Young has a chance to maximize his performance in a contract year alongside Garrett.
