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.
#Texans QB CJ Stroud on his shorter haircut look and the reaction to it:
“I was told people thought I was depressed. I wasn’t. I was doing OK. I had been thinking about cutting my hair for a long time. ... I hate that everything in my life is so public. People just have narratives. It's the life I've chosen to live. I like my haircut.”
DeMeco Ryans on RB David Montgomery:
"He's dialed in mentally. Physically he's in really great shape. He is a great example for all the young guys in the room."
