Browns Acquire Jared Verse and Draft Picks in Myles Garrett Trade

The Cleveland Browns have traded Myles Garrett in a deal that reflects a shift in the organization's competitive timeline. As part of the return, Jared Verse arrives in Cleveland via a June 1 trade with the Los Angeles Rams.

The trade brings Verse to the Browns along with three draft picks spread across the next three years. Cleveland receives a first-round pick in 2027, a second-round pick in 2028, and a third-round pick in 2029 from the Rams.

Verse represents a key component of the return package, tasked with helping maintain the defense during Cleveland's rebuilding phase. The Browns moved Garrett to align with a different competitive timeline, and Verse's role will be to ensure the defense remains productive while the organization undergoes its roster reconstruction.
