The Cleveland Browns are finalizing a blockbuster trade that will send two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, according to reports from Adam Schefter, Ian Rapoport, and Tom Pelissero.
In exchange for the superstar pass rusher, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge rusher Jared Verse and a 2027 draft selection to Cleveland. The move marks one of the most significant defensive trades in recent NFL history, moving Garrett from the AFC North to a Rams defense looking to bolster its front four with an elite veteran presence.
Garrett has been the cornerstone of the Browns franchise since being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. A perennial All-Pro, his departure signals a massive shift in Cleveland's defensive philosophy. In return, the Browns acquire Jared Verse, who has quickly established himself as one of the league's premier young defenders after earning Pro-Bowl honors early in his career.
The deal is currently being finalized between the two organizations as they work through the remaining paperwork. The specific round of the 2027 draft pick included in the package has not yet been confirmed.
