Life just got a whole lot easier for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and anyone else who tries to pass a football in the AFC North Division this season.
Jackson, a 2-time NFL MPV, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, and 4-time NFL MVP Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers all breathed a huge sigh of relief thanks to the news of the NFL’s biggest offseason blockbuster trade on Monday, after the Cleveland Browns traded edge rusher and 2-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams.
“Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote on his official X account on Monday. “In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.”
The Browns have a 1st year head coach in former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken.
“Todd Monken double agent, Myles Garrett outta our Division/Conference, Trey Hendrickson now the rest rusher in the North, Lamar Jackson healthy & safe,” Ravens fan Cyclops wrote on X on Monday.
The trade for Garrett made the Rams automatic Super Bowl favorites, leapfrogging them over the Ravens, among others.
“As the Rams finalize their trade for Myles Garrett, they have become the new Super Bowl betting favorite, per DraftKings: Rams: +650, Ravens, Seahawks and Bills: +1000, Eagles and Chiefs: +1500, Patriots, Chargers and Packers: +1600,” ESPN’s Jamison Hensley wrote on X.
