What did Browns receive for Garrett?

Browns’ return for Myles Garrett

Cleveland completed a major trade that sent two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams and brought back a package designed to rebuild. In the final structure confirmed by both teams, the Browns received:

• OLB Jared Verse
• A 2027 first-round pick
• A 2028 second-round pick
• A 2029 third-round pick
• Additional compensation (details described as part of the overall agreement)

Why the package matters

The Browns’ haul is notable because it isn’t limited to a single player replacement. Instead, it combines a young defensive piece (Verse) with multiple premium future selections across three consecutive draft years. That gives Cleveland options to replenish the roster, address weaknesses through the draft, and manage salary and roster-building timelines.

Immediate context

Garrett had been a central figure for the Browns across his nine seasons in Cleveland. Moving him means the team is betting that it can convert elite talent into long-term assets rather than trying to keep the current core intact.

For the Rams, the contrasting side is straightforward: Los Angeles parted with a significant portion of its draft future to secure an immediate difference-maker on the defensive front.

The trade’s significance was underscored by how quickly the NFL conversation shifted after it was announced and later confirmed by the league’s insiders and the teams themselves.
