The Los Angeles Rams have acquired All-Pro pass rusher Myles Garrett in a blockbuster trade, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The move marks a massive addition to the Rams' defense as the organization continues its trend of aggressive personnel moves to secure elite talent.
The trade comes after the Rams reportedly made a significant push to trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown earlier this offseason. While those negotiations eventually broke off without a deal, the Rams remained focused on the trade market. On a day when many NFL insiders were monitoring for a potential Brown trade, Garrett instead becomes the first major superstar to be moved, heading to Los Angeles to bolster their defensive front.
Garrett, widely considered one of the most dominant defensive forces in the league, joins a Rams unit looking to solidify its status as a contender in the NFC. Specific details regarding the draft picks or players sent in exchange for the star defender have not yet been fully disclosed. This transaction represents a major shift in the NFL landscape as the Rams secure a foundational piece for their pass rush.
