Report reveals 1 surprise team that tried to trade for Myles Garrett
Tom Pelissero reported Buffalo checked on Myles Garrett before the Browns chose the Rams’ offer, which included Jared Verse and three draft picks.
- On June 1, the Los Angeles Rams acquired superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns for Jared Verse and three draft picks, concluding an aggressive offseason search for elite defensive talent.
- NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday the Buffalo Bills contacted the Browns on June 1 but lacked a young edge rusher like Verse to match the Rams' compensation package.
- Before acquiring Garrett, the Rams 'strongly considered' acquiring Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby in the spring, monitoring his status after a proposed Baltimore Ravens trade collapsed in March over knee surgery concerns.
- Garrett signed a 5-year, $208.2 million restructured contract with the Rams, including $37M fully guaranteed in 2026. Head coach Sean McVay confirmed he will play Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers.
- Although Crosby remains with the Raiders, trade rumors could resurface if the team struggles early. General manager John Spytek might receive calls before the November 10 trade deadline, per Pelissero.
