Football may be a team game, but the NFL is a star-centric league. That’s how the Los Angeles Rams, already Super Bowl odds leaders, moved into runaway-favorite territory with their blockbuster trade Monday to acquire edge rusher Myles Garrett.Garrett, who at age 30 is coming off a season in which he won Defensive Player of the Year and broke the single-season sack record, is headed to LA in exchange for linebacker Jared Verse and a handful of picks (the latter of which the Rams famously do not value all that highly).Garret not only had 23 sacks, but was top-four in both quarterback pressures and quick pressures (under three seconds), while having the fastest get-off time in the NFL. Garrett crossed the line of scrimmage in .70 seconds on average; the next-closest lineman was Nick Bosa at .74.Normally, that level of talent would be expected to transform a struggling unit, an answer to an ongoing problem a team has not been able to solve on their own. In the Rams’ case, Garrett’s arrival is like adding rocket fuel to a Formula 1 car.Los Angeles ranked fifth in pressure rate last season, and comfortably in the top half of the league in how quickly it got to the quarterback. The Rams were tied for seventh in sacks, and only the Denver Broncos generated more pressure on third down. In short, this is not a defensive unit in desperate need of Myles Garrett, but they got him anyway.The response from bookmakers was seismic, moving the Rams from +800 to +600 and leaving the next-closest contenders — the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks — solidly behind at +1000. That’s not a massive gap overall, but considering it’s only June, this is significant.For additional context, Austin Mock’s projection model gave the Rams a 14.1 percent chance of winning the Super Bowl before the trade. That moved to 17.1 percent after the deal.
