The Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns, a decision impacting quarterback Matthew Stafford and Ty Simpson. If Stafford, 38, does not retire soon, Simpson, the Rams' 2026 first-round pick, might not be ready to take over. This trade is seen as a move to support a Super Bowl push, with GM Les Snead having pursued Garrett for months. Simpson could benefit long-term if he can develop successfully behind Stafford and benefit from the team's solid offensive pieces. However, if he fails to transition to starting quarterback when needed, he risks being seen as a miss for the franchise.
