The league's arguably best division just got a little more interesting. The league's best defensive player, defensive end Myles Garrett, is headed to the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams agreed to a trade with the Cleveland Browns sending third-year pass rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft pick, a 2028 second-round pick and a 2029 third-round pick for Garrett.
As good as Verse has been in two seasons, making the Pro Bowl both years and winning Defensive Rookie of the Year, he has 12 career sacks.
Garrett set the NFL single-season record for sacks with 23 last season, winning Defensive Player of the Year for the second time. He is a seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro.
Garrett had a no-trade clause in his contract that he waived to join the Rams, and he will continue to have that clause.
His cap hit with the Rams in 2026 will only be $8.14 million.
The Cardinals will now have to face Garrett twice. He has two sacks in two career games against the Cardinals.
They were already a top-10 defense last season. They added Garrett and cornerback Trent McDuffie.
