Cleveland Browns front office reportedly considered trading Myles Garrett for controversial $49 million All-Pro in bold deal attempt
The Cleveland Browns pursued Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter in Myles Garrett trade talks, but the Eagles refused and offered alternatives instead. Cleveland ultimately agreed to a package from the Los Angeles Rams that included Jared Verse and three draft picks. While Carter is a superior interior player with All-Pro credentials, his off-field record and injury history in 2025 likely made him a complicated acquisition. Verse, a natural edge-rush replacement for Garrett, arrives with a cleaner profile and two cheap years left on his rookie contract.
