Myles Garrett

No. 95 · 10th season

Garrett arrives in LA, and the Rams made sure the money works

Getting a pass rusher like Myles Garrett usually costs a team in more ways than one. You give up draft capital in the trade, and then the contract sits on your books like a weight. The Rams found a different way.

Garrett built his name as one of the most feared defenders in football, the kind of player opposing quarterbacks lose sleep over. Whatever it cost to bring him to Los Angeles, the front office clearly decided he was worth the math.

The contract was restructured after the trade in a way that, as one description framed it, carries the same shape as Shohei Ohtani's deal with the Dodgers — structured so the year-to-year salary cap hit stays manageable. In plain terms: Garrett is a Ram, and the Rams don't have to sacrifice everything else to keep him.

That matters. A team that can add a player of Garrett's standing without gutting its flexibility has options other teams don't. For Garrett, it means landing somewhere that built around him rather than just absorbing him.

The question now is what he does with it.
