Overview

  • The Rams acquired Myles Garrett in a high‑profile trade with the Cleveland Browns earlier in June, adding the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year and single‑season sacks leader to Los Angeles’s pass rush.
  • Rams safety Kam Curl publicly said in mid‑June that the group “has a chance to be legendary,” a comment that captured growing locker‑room confidence after offseason moves.
  • Los Angeles also added corners Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson and re‑signed Curl to a new three‑year deal, giving the defense proven playmakers and recent Super Bowl winners.
  • The Garrett trade cost rising edge rusher Jared Verse and draft assets, creating roster and salary‑cap tradeoffs the front office must manage before on‑field results can validate the hype.
  • The optimism is grounded in last season’s No. 4 defensive DVOA and new talent, but the unit must translate those credentials into consistent game performance to meet Super Bowl expectations.
