The Cleveland Browns are finalizing a blockbuster trade to send two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, according to @RapSheet.
In exchange for the star pass rusher, the Rams are sending a significant package to Cleveland. The deal includes linebacker Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round selection, per reports. The transaction is expected to be made official after 4 p.m. ET today to utilize the league's post-June 1 salary cap designation.
Garrett, 30, is coming off a historic 2025 season in which he recorded 23 sacks, setting a new NFL single-season record. Over his career in Cleveland, the former first-overall pick tallied 125.5 sacks and earned three All-Pro selections. He now joins a Los Angeles Rams defensive unit looking to bolster its pass rush with the addition of the league's most prolific active defender.
The Browns receive Verse, who has emerged as a key defensive contributor for the Rams, along with three high-value draft picks. The move comes as teams across the league begin processing roster changes following the June 1 cut-off for cap relief.
