Trading Myles Garrett Was the Browns’ Only Option

The Cleveland Browns traded star defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams on or around June 1, 2026, the earliest date the trade was permitted. In return, Cleveland received defensive end Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick. Garrett had been considered the face of the Browns franchise, making the trade a significant and surprising move for the organization.
