Browns Trade Myles Garrett to Rams in Blockbuster Deal

The Cleveland Browns have traded two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams in a blockbuster deal. The trade marks a significant move for both franchises, with Garrett departing Cleveland after establishing himself as one of the league's premier defensive players.

In exchange for Garrett, the Browns will acquire pass rusher and linebacker Jared Verse. The Rams will also send Cleveland a 2027 first-round selection and a second-round pick in 2028. Additional terms of the trade were not fully detailed in the initial report.

Garrett, recognized twice as the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, had been a cornerstone of the Browns' defense. The trade represents a major shift in personnel strategy for Cleveland, as they move on from their star defensive end while acquiring young talent and future draft capital.

Verse, the linebacker and pass rusher heading to Cleveland, will join the Browns' defensive unit as part of the compensation package. The inclusion of multiple draft picks, including a future first-rounder, indicates the significant value the Rams placed on acquiring Garrett's services.
