June 1 (UPI) -- The Cleveland Browns agreed to trade two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for linebacker Jared Verse and three draft picks, a league source told UPI on Monday.
The Rams will send the Browns a first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, a second-round pick in 2028 and a third-round pick in 2029 in exchange for Garrett.
Garrett, 30, signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension with the Browns in 2025. He is under contract through 2030. Verse, 25, is entering the third year of his four-year rookie contract. The No. 19 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has a team option in 2028.
Garrett set the NFL single-season record for sacks with 23 over 17 starts last season for the Browns. His 125.5 career sacks rank third among active players and are the 20th most since the statistic became official in 1982. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and five-time first-team All-Pro.
