Myles Garrett Introduced in Los Angeles

Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett joins the Los Angeles Rams, bolstering their defense and complicating rival Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl aspirations.

  • On Monday, the Los Angeles Rams acquired two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns, strengthening their defensive front as they pursue another Super Bowl title.
  • Seeking to address a defense that hindered postseason success, Los Angeles prioritized elite pass-rush talent. Cleveland initiated a roster reconstruction, clearing $8 million in cap space by trading Garrett, who recently turned 30.
  • In exchange for the superstar, the Rams surrendered young edge rusher Jared Verse and a package of draft picks including a 2027 first-round selection. Garrett holds the NFL single-season sack record with 23.
  • Garrett joins a defense that already added cornerback Trent McDuffie and safety Jaylen Watson this spring. BetMGM now lists Los Angeles as the favorite to win Super Bowl 61 at SoFi Stadium next year.
  • General Manager Les Snead continues his aggressive philosophy of trading high draft capital for established talent to maximize the championship window of MVP Matthew Stafford. The team aims to replicate their Super Bowl 56 victory.
