I feel like people are way too low on Jared Verse all of a sudden.

He's not Myles Garrett - duh.

But Verse would be on a list of 5 names I wrote on a blank piece of paper of dream players I'd want back in a trade if I was trading away Myles Garrett.

He's an excellent EDGE entering year 3, so he isn't on blockbuster money yet.

Dude's racked up almost 160 total pressures in his first 2 regular seasons. He has 32 more across 5 playoff games.

He's got elite power. You want this guy on your team.

Expected new Browns DE Jared Verse, who was the 2024 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year, has 99 pressures since entering the league in 2024. Only Micah Parsons (119) and Myles Garrett (109) have more over that span, per ESPN Research.

Verse turns 26 in November and is eligible for a contract extension after the 2026 season.

[Fullcourtpass @Fullcourtpass]

The Cavaliers contemplated a Darius Garland for Jrue Holiday swap before ultimately trading for James Harden, per @ChrisFedor

They ultimately determined he wasn’t enough of a reliable offensive engine

Shoutout Cleveland for recognizing a 30 year old Myles Garrett didn’t fit their timeline.

@923TheFan If they didn’t turn the ball over and shot better they would be able to compete and close out games. It’s frustrating how they only turn it on during certain games. Close out series faster and get extra rest

The 2026 Guardians lineup is more dynamic than the 2024 edition, and the latter version was good enough to reach the ALCS.

@MLBNetwork

[Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN]

This is the best Cleveland offense in years.
Since April 29 (19 games):
13-6 record
The Guardians have a .347 OBP
They're averaging 5.4 runs per game.
