Los Angeles Rams acquire Myles Garrett in blockbuster trade

The Los Angeles Rams completed a high‑profile trade to bring former Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett to the team. Garrett, a two‑time Defensive Player of the Year who set a new NFL single‑season sack record with 23 sacks in 2025, is expected to be the Rams’ No. 1 edge rusher and a key factor in the franchise’s push for a Super Bowl title.

Defensive coordinator Chris Shula said the Rams will let Garrett play to his strengths, noting, “We’re going to let him do what he does best… we’re going to work with him and put him in the best spots for the defense to succeed.” The acquisition follows a season in which the Rams fell short in the NFC Championship, and the move signals the organization’s “all‑in” approach for the 2026 season.

Garrett’s arrival is also expected to benefit other defensive linemen such as Kobie Turner and Byron Young, while the Rams anticipate increased defensive pressure and additional primetime appearances throughout the upcoming campaign.
