The Los Angeles Rams have acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive end and two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns in a major trade. Cleveland receives pass rusher Jared Verse and three draft picks in return, restructuring both teams’ defensive futures. The move ends Garrett’s nine-season stint with the Browns, who drafted him first overall in 2017. It comes roughly 15 months after Garrett signed a four-year, $204.8 million extension with $122.8 million guaranteed, which briefly made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, and follows his 2025 trade request amid Browns organizational instability.
