NFL fans believe Browns won the Myles Garrett trade

The Cleveland Browns and the Los Angeles Rams sent shockwaves through the NFL on Monday, when they agreed to terms on a trade that sent two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the NFC West.

While the move may shift the balance of power in the NFC to the Rams, NFL fans believe that the Browns may have just won the trade itself.

According to a poll conducted on SB Nation’s NFL Feed, 64% of respondents believe that the Browns won the trade:

In return for Garrett, Cleveland received defensive lineman Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a conditional third-round pick in 2029.

That condition? If the Rams were to trade Garrett back to the AFC North, then that 2029 third-round pick would become a 2029 first-round pick.

Fans also believe that there is another winner in the deal.

Garrett himself.

What may ultimately determine who won this trade are these two questions: First, can the Rams deliver on the potential that Garrett adds to their defense? And second, what do the Browns do with this draft capital?

But those are questions to be answered on another day.
