🚨🚨🚨
Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me.
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.
CHICAGO BEARS STADIUM UPDATE THREAD:
The Illinois legislature adjourned the spring session without resolving the Chicago Bears stadium issue.
Late Sunday, a last-minute proposal (which is very similar to the legislation proposed and passed in Indiana) passed the Illinois Senate but did not make it through the House as the General Assembly wrapped up its work before 5 a.m. CT.
That legislation proposed would allow municipalities( Arlington Heights, Chicago, etc.) to create their own sports stadium authority. The Bears would still fund the construction of the stadium, but it would be publicly owned. The legislation was an attempt to keep the Bears in IL because it would solve their biggest hurdle: finding property tax certainty.
Because the PILOT legislation died over the weekend, lawmakers tried to pass something that would keep the Bears from having to pay property taxes.
So now the Bears say they have a decision to make. Here is a statement from the team: "We will finalize our evaluation of both Arlington Heights and Hammond, and remain on the late spring/early summer timeline that we have previously communicated. We will provide an update when we have a decision to share."
With the Spurs and Knicks in the NBA Finals, the league will have a different champion in each of the past eight seasons:
2019: Raptors
2020: Lakers
2021: Bucks
2022: Warriors
2023: Nuggets
2024: Celtics
2025: Thunder
2026: ?

BREAKING: As expected, MLB proposed a hard salary cap to union officials today as part of the next CBA, sources tell ESPN. The salary floor for teams beginning in 2027 would be set at $171.2 million which includes player benefits with the ceiling at $245.3 million.
BREAKING: Milan Momcilovic will be withdrawing his name from the 2026 NBA Draft and returning for college for his senior year, per Jeff Borzello.
Per multiple outlets, Momcilovic's camp has had Zoom calls with Kentucky, Louisville and St. John's. However, other schools could emerge as potential landing spots. While a return to Iowa State is possible with an open roster spot, it's not likely due to the timeline of his decision.
