Rams Acquire Garrett from Browns in Blockbuster Trade

The Los Angeles Rams have acquired three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns in a blockbuster trade, sending edge rusher Jared Verse and a 2027 first-round pick to Cleveland.

The Rams reportedly completed the deal for Garrett, who signed a four-year, $160 million extension with Cleveland last season. The 30-year-old is a five-time first-team All-Pro selection who set the NFL record with 23 sacks in a single season and has recorded at least 14 sacks in each of the past five seasons. bettingx.club

In return, Cleveland receives the 2024 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, Jared Verse, who had 7.5 sacks, 27 QB hits and three forced fumbles last season. The Rams have overhauled their defense this offseason, adding cornerback Trent McDuffie earlier and now upgrading their pass rush with the addition of the premier defensive star.
