Los Angeles Rams acquisition and debut of Myles Garrett

Overview

The Los Angeles Rams acquired reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns in a trade involving Jared Verse and several draft picks. The deal included a 2027 first-round selection and a conditional 2029 third-rounder. To facilitate the move, Garrett and the Rams reworked his contract to ensure low cap hits through the next three seasons.

Following the trade, the Rams prepared for Garrett’s debut during an NFL season opener against the San Francisco 49ers held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. While Garrett has managed knee swelling during the summer, he indicated readiness to play, potentially under a snap count. He has been training alongside Aaron Donald, who described playing with Garrett as “special,” though Donald did not travel to Australia for the season opener.

Garrett’s debut in Melbourne proved underwhelming. In the 27-7 loss to the 49ers, the former Defensive Player of the Year failed to record a sack or a tackle, finishing with five pressures on 39 snaps. Analysts noted that 49ers left tackle Trent Williams effectively neutralized Garrett. Additionally, the 49ers' offensive strategy reportedly wore Garrett down, causing him to sit out snaps late in the fourth quarter due to fatigue. The performance drew criticism from fans on social media regarding his impact against high-level competition.
