What happened: The Cincinnati Bengals shared a social media teaser titled 'Let it out,' capturing the team's reaction to news that star edge rusher Myles Garrett has been traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams. The video features 'Mic'd Up' footage of Bengals players processing the departure of the perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate from their division.
Why it matters: Garrett's exit significantly shifts the AFC North landscape, removing a defender who holds the NFL's single-season sack record from the Bengals' bi-annual schedule. The move follows the Rams' acquisition of Garrett for a package including Jared Verse, providing immediate relief for a Cincinnati offensive line that has historically struggled to contain him.
What to watch: The Bengals continue their OTA program without the looming threat of Garrett in the division, while Cleveland begins integrating Jared Verse into their defensive front ahead of the 2026 campaign.
