Jared Verse, who joins the Cleveland Browns after a trade involving Myles Garrett, says he was caught off guard and felt upset about the move. Speaking during his introductory remarks in Cleveland, Verse describes how he learned he was being traded from the Los Angeles Rams to the Browns and says the development was not what he expected. Both outlets report that Verse’s comments come as he begins his first days with the Browns, framing his reaction as emotional and immediate rather than rehearsed or detached. The reports do not add detailed terms of the trade itself, but they agree on the core point: Verse openly discusses his surprise and disappointment when he was informed of the transaction. The statements are presented as part of his early integration into the new team environment, including addressing the circumstances of the trade publicly in a press setting.
