What happened: ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky said Myles Garrett's impact on the Los Angeles Rams goes well beyond his own production, arguing the move "is going to make everybody a significantly better player." Garrett arrives in Los Angeles after the Rams acquired him from the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland received EDGE Jared Verse and a 2027 first-round pick in the deal.

Why it matters: A disruptive interior-and-edge presence like Garrett can free up teammates by drawing extra blockers and shortening the quarterback's clock, which is the upgrade Orlovsky is describing. It also signals the Rams are leaning into contention rather than a slow rebuild, having dealt a young pass-rusher and premium draft capital for an established star. The framing matches earlier reporting on the Rams' acquisition of Garrett ahead of a Week 1 matchup.

What to watch: Watch how the Rams scheme Garrett into their front and whether his presence visibly lifts the rest of the defense once the 2026 season opens.
