The Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Rams agree on a blockbuster trade that sends two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to Los Angeles. Multiple outlets report that the Rams obtain Garrett, a star edge rusher, to bolster their defensive pass rush for the upcoming season. In return, the Browns receive linebacker Jared Verse. The agreed deal also includes a 2027 first-round draft pick and additional draft compensation, though specific additional elements are described differently across reports.
Reports cited by outlets including NFL Network and ESPN indicate the trade framework is set, with full terms circulated after the initial announcement. Sky Sports and other coverage also characterize the exchange as Garrett moving from Cleveland to the Rams in exchange for Verse and the 2027 first-round selection.
Overall, the sources agree on the core components: Garrett is traded to Los Angeles, while Jared Verse and a 2027 first-round pick (plus other draft-related assets) goes to Cleveland. The transaction is presented as a major personnel move by both teams ahead of the 2026 season.
