The Cleveland Browns are finalizing a blockbuster trade to send superstar defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, according to reports from Tom Pelissero, Adam Schefter, and Ian Rapoport.
In exchange for the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, the Browns are expected to receive two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft pick, and additional draft compensation. The deal marks one of the most significant defensive trades in recent NFL history, moving a generational talent in Garrett to a Rams team looking to aggressively bolster its defensive front.
Garrett has been the cornerstone of the Cleveland franchise since being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. His departure signifies a massive shift for the Browns organization as they acquire significant draft capital and a young, proven pass rusher in Verse. Verse joins Cleveland after establishing himself as a premier defensive talent during his tenure in Los Angeles.
