What return did Browns get for Garrett?
The reported Garrett return package
Cleveland’s trade of Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams is reported to have included a young defensive centerpiece and draft capital.
Most of the deal breakdowns state that the Browns received:
- Jared Verse (a Pro Bowl pass rusher) from the Rams
- A first-round pick from Los Angeles (reported as a 2027 first-rounder in multiple trade grades and depth-chart/salary-cap breakdowns)
Because the trade was initially discussed and reported around the June 1 roster/contract calendar, some headlines framed the move as “stunning” and treated the return details as part of the immediate follow-through once teams had clarity on the transaction timing.
Why that specific return matters
Verse’s inclusion is significant because it provides Cleveland with a high-level pass-rushing option without having to wait years for development alone. Pairing that with a first-round pick gives the Browns another high-upside path to add either a premium starter or a future building block.
What to watch next
After the blockbuster became the dominant offseason storyline, subsequent coverage focused on:
- how Cleveland would use the new draft assets to reshape its roster
- how Los Angeles would integrate Garrett into its defensive plans
- updated depth charts and salary-cap math tied to the trade’s official status
No additional specific player-for-player swaps beyond Verse and the draft pick were consistently presented in the provided reports.
