🚨 BLOCKBUSTER TRADE BREAKDOWN 🚨The Cleveland Browns are sending future Hall of Fame edge rusher Myles Garrett to the LA Rams in a measured gamble that includes drafts picks 2027 1st-rounder, 2nd 2028, 3rd 2029 and 2nd-year star Jared Verse, Pro Bowl Edge Rusher 25 years old 6'4ft 265lbs runs 4.7 / 40-dash.
EvoRelic.com breaks down the fascinating numbers behind this rare blockbuster swap:
🏈 The Production: Jared Verse has led the NFL with 188 total pressures over his first two seasons—topping Garrett's 166 (though Verse played nearly 300 more snaps). His 17.0% pressure rate sits just behind Garrett’s elite 17.8%.
📉 The Efficiency Divide: Garrett converted a staggering 27.4% of his pressures into sacks last season using his elite agility. Verse operates more as a "pocket-squeezer," winning with pure power but converting just 8.5% of his pressures into true sacks.
🏃♂️ The Run Game: Garrett has evolved into an elite, highly consistent run defender (82.5 PFF run-defense grade last year). Verse has been far more "boom-or-bust," logging a 62.4 run grade paired with a troubling 18 missed tackles in 2025.
The Verdict:The Browns admittedly hit the reset button, locking in a premier young pass rusher under a team-controlled rookie contract for their timeline. And the Browns scored with quality draft picks that could land them either elite young players and/or the Quarterback of the Future in upcoming draft. Meanwhile, the Super Bowl-favorite Rams cash in their chips to pair an absolute titan with their defense for immediate championship contention in the upcoming season.
