A blockbuster trade was announced Monday between the Cleveland Browns and LA Rams.
Myles Garrett is heading to LA in exchange for two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Jared Verse and multiple draft picks
The Cleveland Browns have traded Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams for two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Jared Verse and multiple draft picks
Sportsbooks were fast to react Monday.
The beneficiaries are the Rams, who already entered the day among the favorites to win the 2027 Super Bowl.
Win the Championship: +720 to +550
Win the NFC: +390 to +310
Win the NFC West: +136 to +100
By 4:30 pm EDT, the Rams were now the odds-on favorite at most books to win the big game. It helps too that if they make it to the Super Bowl, they'll be playing with home field advantage.
With Super Bowl LXI set to be played at SoFi Stadium again, the Rams once again are going all-in and living by their mantra, "F--- them picks," while trying to repeat history.
The Browns were adamant that they had no interest in trading Garrett, and even told that to the Rams, according to sources.
The Browns told the Rams that no deal would get done without including the 25-year-old Verse, the Rams' 2024 first-round pick who has had 12 sacks and 22 tackles for loss the past two seasons.
"We met with Myles on Saturday and told him we are extremely grateful for all that he contributed to our team and to our community and that he will always be a Cleveland Brown. We look forward to welcoming him back at the appropriate time and wish him and his family only the best," Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslem said in a statement.
