Rams sit 2-4 as Myles Garrett trade tilts toward Browns

Cleveland holds Rams pick plus Jared Verse in return

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 1h1 min read

What happened: Cleveland moved to 4-2 after receiving a first, second and third-round pick plus Jared Verse for Myles Garrett. Garrett is sidelined with a knee issue while Verse has yet to record a sack with his new team.

Why it matters: Los Angeles is 0-2 against the NFC West with three games remaining against Seattle and San Francisco. A continued slide could leave Cleveland with a top-10 pick in the upcoming draft. Matthew Stafford has not played to MVP form during the skid.

By the numbers: Rams 2-4, 0-2 vs NFC West; Browns 4-2. Jared Verse: 0 sacks in 2026 after 58 tackles and 7.5 sacks in 17 games in 2025 with the Rams. Matthew Stafford: 388-of-597 for 4,707 yards, 46 TDs and 8 INTs in 17 games in 2025 with the Rams.

What to watch: Los Angeles gets Las Vegas next before dates with the Chargers, Commanders and Arizona.
