The Cleveland Browns are finalizing a trade that will send star defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams for edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft pick and other draft compensation that still is being negotiated, according to reports June 1 from NFL Network and ESPN.

Garrett is a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year; Verse is a two-time Pro-Bowl pass rusher.

In January, Garrett sacked Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to break the NFL's single-season sacks record during the fourth quarter of the Browns' NFL Week 18 win at Paycor Stadium.

Garrett entered the game needing one sack to break the league's single-season record of 22.5, set in 2001 by Michael Strahan and matched in 2021 by TJ Watt.

Garrett sacked Burrow twice during a nightmarish offensive series for Cincinnati in the fourth quarter of the Bengals' NFL Week 1 win against Cleveland at Huntington Bank Field. Garrett entered the game having sacked Burrow and the Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson 11 times each.

Garrett was not penalized for taking down Burrow out of bounds during their NFL Week 16 game at Paycor Stadium in Dec. 2024.

Garrett has had at least one sack in 12 of the 14 career games he's played against Cincinnati.

Garrett, a 2017 first-round pick of the Browns, has played nine NFL seasons, all with Cleveland. He has 125.5 career sacks.
