Browns trading Myles Garrett to Rams in NFL blockbuster: Sources

  • On Monday, June 1, 2026, the Cleveland Browns finalized a trade sending star defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for edge rusher Jared Verse and a 2027 first-round draft pick.
  • Cleveland General Manager Andrew Berry reworked Garrett's contract in March to delay option bonuses, providing roster flexibility that enabled the deal following the NFL Draft.
  • Garrett, a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, set an NFL record with 23 sacks in 2025, while Verse earned Pro Bowl honors in each of his first two seasons after the Rams selected him 19th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
  • Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay signals an "all-in" approach with this acquisition, positioning the franchise firmly in a Super Bowl window for the upcoming season.
  • Meanwhile, Cleveland faces continued uncertainty at quarterback with Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders competing for the starting job, though additional draft capital may eventually provide resources to secure a franchise leader.
