"Feels Terrible": Jared Verse Doesn't Hold Back on Browns Trade in Exchange for Myles Garrett
Jared Verse was born in Dayton, Ohio, and on June 1, the Browns brought him home as the return piece in one of the biggest defensive trades in NFL history. The two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett was sent to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-rounder, and a 2029 third.
Santa Clara, CA – November 09: Jared Verse, the 25-year-old defensive end of the Los Angeles Rams, candidly spoke about his feelings regarding the Browns' trade that brought him back to Cleveland. On June 1, the Browns acquired Garrett from the Rams in exchange for Verse, along with two first-round draft picks. The deal, one of the most significant defensive trades in NFL history, left Verse feeling "terrible," he told Colin Cowherd on The Herd.
Despite the initial sting, the feeling eventually subsided as Verse reconnected with his former teammates, Byron Young and Braden Fiske. He emphasized that he was not there to take Garrett's place but to contribute his own. This sentiment has resonated with Cleveland teammates, with linebacker Kyle Van Noy describing Verse as "a dawg" shortly after his arrival.
