NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport revealed his "Top 5 Most Memorable Trade Reports" on Thursday's edition of Good Morning Football. Per @RapSheet, the list is headlined by this week's blockbuster move sending Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams.
The veteran reporter's definitive rankings include three massive transactions from the 2026 calendar year, along with two historic deals that reshaped the league's landscape. According to NFL Network, the five trades identified by Rapoport are: Myles Garrett to the Rams (2026), A.J. Brown to the Patriots (2026), Maxx Crosby to the Ravens (2026), Russell Wilson to the Broncos (2022), and Sam Bradford to the Vikings (2016).
Rapoport noted that the recent acquisition of Garrett by the Rams stands out as one of the most complex and impactful deals he has ever broken, followed closely by the sudden trade of A.J. Brown to New England earlier this week. The inclusion of the 2016 Bradford trade highlights the start of Rapoport's tenure as a primary news breaker for the league's official network.
