What happened: NFL coaches are publicly tempering expectations around the Los Angeles Rams following Myles Garrett's blockbuster trade, according to a PFSN report. The move brings one of the league's premier edge rushers to Los Angeles ahead of the 2026 season. The 'I don't get too hyped on this stuff' tone from around the league is meant to cool the offseason hype.

Why it matters: An elite edge presence reshapes a defensive front and the pressure it generates on opposing quarterbacks, and that ripples through coverage and run defense too. Whether rival coaches buy the hype or not, that caliber of talent moves the needle in a crowded NFC. Downplaying it now does not change the matchup problem he creates.
