History

Historical Context

When the Browns sent Myles Garrett to the Rams on June 1 2024, they followed a recent Chicago Bears playbook: in 2018 the Bears dealt defensive end Khalil Mack to Oakland for two first-round selections and later added a $141 million extension, reshaping their defense for years.
