Mike Garofalo projects Miles Garrett to set the NFL sack record with 30 sacks this season after recording 23 last year with the Browns. The reasoning: Garrett will now play for the Rams with a lead, allowing him to hunt sacks in the fourth quarter to close games rather than being behind and facing double/triple teams as he did in Cleveland. Garofalo believes Garrett will be the first defensive player since Lawrence Taylor in 1986 to win NFL MVP.PositiveProjectionJul 14, 2026
Miles Garrett will be the first defensive player since Lawrence Taylor in 1986 to win the NFL MVP award. Garrett set the NFL record with 23 sacks last season while with the Browns, often playing from behind and facing double and triple teams. Now with the Rams, he'll play with a lead and can hunt sacks freely, which should elevate his production even further.PositiveRoleJul 8, 2026
Rams edge rusher acquired via trade from Cleveland; 23-sack player expected to elevate the defense to Super Bowl caliber. Defensive coordinator Chris Shula said the team will let Miles be Miles and collaborate with him rather than change his approach. Garrett will demand double teams and triple teams, which will allow other defensive linemen like Braden Fisk, Puna Ford, and Byron Young (who had 12 sacks and 29 QB hits last season) to thrive. The Rams' defense ranked 17th overall and 19th against the pass last season; Garrett is expected to have an Aaron Donald effect and make the defense dominant. Once the defensive line figures out how to rush together with Garrett, they will reach another level of dominance.PositiveRoleJun 25, 2026
Garrett, a two-time defensive player of the year who just set a new single-season sack record, was traded to the Rams to address their defensive struggles in the final nine games and playoffs where they gave up 27 points per game; he brings the star power the Rams defense has been missing since Aaron Donald retired and has never played with a teammate who had double-digit sacks, which could unlock his best version; the Rams are now arguably the favorite to win the Super Bowl.NegativeDepth ChartJun 23, 2026
Garrett was traded to the Los Angeles Rams as part of their defensive reconstitution. The Rams will showcase their new defensive pieces, including Garrett, in joint practices against the Dallas Cowboys on August 19th.NegativeDepth ChartJun 23, 2026
Garrett was traded away from the Cleveland Browns after recording a record-breaking 23-sack season in 2025. While Joe Thomas acknowledges the trade hurts emotionally for Browns fans, it was the right long-term decision. The Browns received Jared Verse (a young pass rusher on a friendly contract), three draft picks (first, second, and third), and significant cap space savings. The trade signals the Browns are not contenders this season and are in a rebuild phase, though it positions them better for the future.
