The Rams sent Jared Verse a first-round pick and other draft compensation to the Cleveland Browns for Myles Garrett, who was just coming off setting a single-season NFL sack record.<\/p>\n
Why is this one of the biggest trades in NFL history?<\/p>\n
‘Cause it’s rare of a player in Garrett’s prime, at his level, to be traded.<\/p>\n
Garrett is arguably the best player in the NFL.<\/p>\n
He’s won two NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards, just a dominant player for the Browns, and now the Rams add him to a defense that had already added Trent- Trent McDuffie this off-season, the cornerback from the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n
It seemed like that was the Rams’ big move, shoring up their cornerback room, but they’re never really content.<\/p>\n

They wanna push for a Super Bowl, and this was their big move, getting Garrett.<\/p>\n
For the Browns, it seems a little light.<\/p>\n
Jared Verse is a very, very good player.<\/p>\n
First-round pick will come in handy, but this is Myles Garrett, who’s going to the Hall of Fame someday.<\/p>\n
Now he gets his chance to play for a Super Bowl contender.<\/p>\n
That’s great for him.<\/p>\n
We’ll see how the Browns’ end of this trade works out in a few years.<\/p>\n
But for the Rams, it’s pretty obvious.<\/p>\n
They just added an elite, elite player who’s gonna be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, changes their entire defense.<\/p>\n
The rest of the NFL should be pretty worried because right now the Rams are Super Bowl favorites, and it’s not even a close second.<\/p>\n
