What happened: Before the Browns traded defensive end Myles Garrett to the Rams on Monday, the Eagles made a play to acquire him, according to Yahoo NFL. Cleveland's asking price reportedly included Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter, a condition Philadelphia would not meet. Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer had earlier flagged the Rams, Cowboys, and Eagles as potential destinations.

Why it matters: The Browns ultimately sent Garrett to the Rams, ending a drawn-out market that drew interest from multiple contenders. Cleveland's insistence on Carter underscores how high the franchise set its return for a premier pass rusher. Philadelphia's refusal keeps one of its young defensive anchors in place heading into 2026.

What to watch: Watch whether more details emerge on the full Rams package and how Philadelphia reallocates the cap and capital it preserved by holding onto Carter.
