The Cleveland Browns traded two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams for two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Jared Verse and multiple draft picks, the teams announced Monday.
The Browns received a first-round draft pick in 2027, a second-round pick in 2028 and a third-rounder in 2029 in what is one of the biggest trades in NFL history involving a defensive player.
For the second year in a row, the Browns will have two first-round picks and they currently are scheduled to have 11 picks in the 2027 draft, including three fourth-round picks, two fifth-round picks and two seventh-round picks. They will be armed to move around the draft board if there’s a player they deem worth acquiring.
Garrett, 30, is coming off a season in which he set the NFL’s all-time single-season sack record and is regarded as the best defensive player in football. He also is under contract through the 2030 season, at a time when the Rams were grappling with which of their own defensive standouts to pay.
