What happened: The Cleveland Browns posted "new chapter begins now" while welcoming edge rusher Jared Verse to the building. The message accompanies reports that Cleveland is sending defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for Verse and a 2027 first-round pick. Verse has already hit the practice field with the team.

Why it matters: Garrett has long been the cornerstone of Cleveland's defense, so moving him marks a major reset of the front seven. Landing a younger edge rusher plus a future first-round pick reshapes the Browns' roster timeline heading into the 2026 season.

What to watch: Watch for the deal to be formalized and for how Cleveland deploys Verse within its pass rush as the 2026 season approaches.
