Rams Trade For Myles Garrett
June 1st, 2026
New Bucs edge rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad.
The Buccaneers’ home opener against the Browns just got a little easier — and their road to the NFC Championship game probably got a shade tougher.
This afternoon, the Rams made a heck of an all-in move trading with the Browns for beastly future Hall of Fame edge rusher Myles Garrett.
Per various sources, including SiriusXM NFL Radio, Los Angeles is reported to have coughed up Pro Bowl edge rusher Jared Verse (the 2024 Defensive Rookie of the Year) and a 2027 first-round pick, in addition to compensation currently being negotiated.
Garrett will now team up with the Rams’ remaining Pro Bowl edge rusher, Byron Young.
Joe heard of this deal and thought, ‘No wonder the Rams didn’t draft Rueben Bain,’ as McVay explained. Joe also wondered considered making a move for Garrett.
The Rams are determined to get to the Super Bowl this season, which could be the last for quarterback Matthew Stafford. Suddenly, Joe doesn’t feel greedy asking for Von Miller over Chris Braswell.

Bucs needed to do this 2 seasons ago. Always behind
June 1st, 2026 at 1:41 pm
Rumored that this is the last year for McVay in LA. He’s all in and is largely bankrupting the Rams. Quite risky considering the quality of the NFC West and the age on the Quarterback.

Now Sneed is a real GM!
No risk it, no biscuit….so much for that motto…

The rich get richer! The Bucs are perfectly content with the status quo with this defense it looks like. Pretty sad if you ask me.
Honestly, who thinks this Bucs team can hang with this Rams team? Anyone? I am all ears!
June 1st, 2026 at 1:43 pm
100 Sam.. I said the same about Crosby last year.
June 1st, 2026 at 1:45 pm
Jared verse is pretty good too dunno if it got much easier if at all.
June 1st, 2026 at 1:45 pm
Matthew Stafford is entering his declining years which is why the Rams are desperate đ€ knowing 2026 is their make or break year. Baker is entering a four year window to add a Super Bowl to his resume.

How in the *HECK* do the Rams have salary cap space for Miles Garrett on top of that offense???
June 1st, 2026 at 1:47 pm
Getting the best player in football, who will continue to be a top star for at least a few more seasons, for a 5th round LB and a future late 1st round pick is hardly risky.

The same way the Bucs kept adding guys.
Kick the can down the road using void years.
June 1st, 2026 at 1:55 pm
Wait, don’t we have the Browns week 1?
June 1st, 2026 at 1:58 pm
Joe – why the picture of Muhammed?
Giving up Verse, who was a high first round pick by the way, for an aging Garrett is risky but I get it. Tossing next years 1st round pick is costly too. We shall see.
June 1st, 2026 at 1:59 pm
The Rams are actually contenders so thats why they’re blowing the budget. Remember when the Bucs did that with Brady? Ahh, the good old days. The rich get richer it seems. Rams with the MVP added the best defensive player in the league. There’s so much excitement with the Bucs that the Joes are posting Rams news. Lol…I kid I kid, sorta.
Like I predicted the Bucs wouldn’t spend a lot of money this off-season and they’ve done just that. All of the non-moves show what ownership thinks of this team.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:01 pm
Verse was picked #19 overall.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:03 pm
Week 2. And I was really looking forward to Mayfield and Garrett getting after it. Patience is hard earned and I can wait for that game.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:06 pm
We open at Cincy. Not Cleveland. We wonât ever do these kind thing of deals.
Not sure how they pull off his 40 million salary
June 1st, 2026 at 2:07 pm
The Rams will be screwed financially in a couple years. And they better hope Garrett is a unicorn and plays well into his 30s because he’s 30 now.
Jared Verse is it 25-year-old who is a 19th pick overall and was ROTY. Had 7.5 sacks last season currently 25 yo. There’s no arguing that Garrett is the better player/passrusher but it’s still a risky move giving the age differences. Would you trade Diaby and a first for Garrett? Hmmmm
Probably đ
June 1st, 2026 at 2:07 pm
I wish we had owners that really wanted to win at all costs like the LA Rams owner. Hey but we have our first round draft picks!
June 1st, 2026 at 2:07 pm
Garrett and Bain on the same line would be crazy.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:09 pm
Smart move by Cleveland- surprised they gave up Verse
I was dreaming weâd somehow trade for Verse
June 1st, 2026 at 2:11 pm
LA has Young who is a monster…no need for Bain.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:11 pm
Sneed > Licht Not even close
McVay > Bowels Light years apart
Stafford > Mayfield Galaxies apart
Rams > Bucs One wants to win, the other is happy with losing
It’s a Bucs life!!!

“We wonât ever do these kind thing of deals.

Okay, I knew we played the Browns within the first month of the season.
I don’t think it’s $40M that LA is going to be on the hook for, but they will have to pay out w/e guaranteed money left on the deal. Garrett had bonuses baked into his deal and from what I’m seeing his salary is about $23M this year.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:15 pm
Rams alREADY traded #1, #5, #6 this year and #3 next year for McDuffie. A few years and they’re on Saints zone
June 1st, 2026 at 2:15 pm
Remember, LA was supposed to suck after all the picks they gave for Stafford, nope. Oh wait. They will suck after all the picks they gave for Ramsey, nope. Wait, wait, wait. They will suck after this deal…. probably not.
Because of their GM. Sneed is special.
Still waiting for them to suck while we are, mid….
So much for no risk it, no biscuit.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:15 pm
Garrett is clearly the best pass rusher in the league and itâs a win now move but I question the process.
If Ty Simpson is the real deal I guess this all works out but I am not sure I am takingâŠ
Ty Simpson (riding the bench), Garrett, no 2027 1st and no Verse
Over
Verse, Bain and keeping my 2027 1st.
Who knows until later I guess.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:18 pm
I agree about now seeing why McVay didnât want Bain Jr. nowâŠ.
But his âexplanationâ and especially when you throw in that they drafted a QB to sit behind Stafford in Simpson made absolutely no sense. Him and Les being at odds and having a disconnect on Draft night makes a helluva lot more sense than Bain not getting them to a SB THIS season, but Ty Simpson would (same âlogicâ applies)
Now if anyone is still in the get another pass rusher/edge rusher crowd. Jason may want to call up New York for Sâs & Gâs and see if Abdul Carter wants to get out of town. You never know.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:18 pm
In the words of the Buccaneer staffâŠâNow thatâs how you win a Super Bowl!â

——–
Ooops, my bad.
I was confusing him with Byron Young, who was actually a 3rd round LB, and has averaged 9 sacks a year.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:20 pm
This move just screams “LA Rams”. How do you give up a guy like Verse? Garrett is amazing, but he probably just had the best year of his career and it’s a slow slide down from here.
When I first heard the Rams were getting Garrett I assumed it was for picks, and thought “great move”. But giving up a stud like Verse who is NOT a pick, has already established himself as a star so there’s no risk of him being a bust, AND is still on his rookie contract? I don’t like this deal for the Rams at all.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:20 pm
Sarcasm is pretty funny putting Al-Quadin Muhammad’s pic up there.
Hey, at least we grabbed somebody.
Hoping he makes us forget about Reddick.

Yes, how do you give up a guy for the best player in football, who might only be the best player in football for a few more years.
LOL!

âŠ.also on some other trade news and HIGHLY predictable, the Fightinâ Russiniâs traded for AJ Brown
Lots to say regarding this very interesting trade dynamic and predictability, but Iâll lock & key it from here!
June 1st, 2026 at 2:22 pm
Joe
Didnât I just say this a few days ago
The reason the Bucs will never beat the Rams is because the Rams arenât afraid to TRADE PICKS
THE RAMS ARENT AFRAID TO GET A LOCKDOWN CORNER
THE RAMS ARENT AFRAID TO GET A TOP PASH RUSHER
I LITERALLY SAID THIS IN THE COMMENT SECTION 2 days ago lol
I wouldnât be surprised if Aaron Donald comes outta retirement for this season
June 1st, 2026 at 2:23 pm

Yeah, but I said it 3 days ago.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:26 pm
Now look at the Bucs
Still no lockdown corner on the roster
Still no top pass rusher on the roster
But we got another rookie class we finna rely on
Meanwhile Bowles is still saying âWe like the guys we gotâ and âOur young guys need the repsâ
Goodness gracious. ITS A BUCS LIFE smh
June 1st, 2026 at 2:39 pm
Letâs be honest the Bucs are just a better version of the Browns right now. Next year they will be getting a new coach and rebuild. Bowles going to be lucky if he can even compete in the division little less a championship.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:41 pm
Who do we have equivalent to Verse that the Browns would have accepted in this trade?
June 1st, 2026 at 2:42 pm
Why does this surprise anyone? They have a ton of cap room upcoming AND know Stafford is in his last season.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:45 pm
Iâm just happy we have Chris Braswell and no big Salary Cap problems like the Rams. Just think, if this team stays healthy we can go 9-8, win the division again and lose in the first round of the playoffs to the Rams. lol.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:45 pm
Verse has gotta be pissed right about now. BIG shoes to fill, too. On a BAD team.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:51 pm
rams are going for it…
so mike evans watched sf grab a wr early in the draft, and now the rams bring garrett into his new division…
big mike just might be asking himself what is going on
June 1st, 2026 at 2:53 pm
I didn’t realize Verse had only 4.5 sacks and 7.5 sacks these last 2 seasons. He had a great post season his rookie year which is what was stuck in my mind, but that makes this trade look a lot more like a no brainer.
Verse probably values like a R2-R3 pick. A r1 + R2 when you’re likely picking late, for defensive MVP is great value if you get 2-3 great seasons out of him.
June 1st, 2026 at 2:55 pm
The Bucs, a day late and a dollar short as usual. :(…
