The Los Angeles Rams have expressed significant interest in Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, per @AdamSchefter. The interest from the Rams reportedly intensified following a strategic modification to the seven-time Pro Bowl defender's contract earlier this spring.
According to the report, the Browns adjusted Garrett's deal in March, specifically pushing back the deadline for his option bonuses. The payment window was moved from the 15th day of the league year in March to a new deadline of seven days before the start of the regular season. This contractual shift appears to have served as the catalyst for the Rams to explore a potential move for the elite edge rusher.
Garrett remains one of the most decorated defensive players in the NFL, and any potential move would represent a massive shift in the league's defensive landscape. The Rams, known for aggressive pursuit of star talent, would be adding a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate to their front seven if a deal were to materialize.
