Listen Later

One of the biggest defensive trades in recent NFL history just dropped — and Lindsay and Sam went live to break it all down. Myles Garrett is heading to the Los Angeles Rams. Jared Verse is heading to Cleveland. And despite how lopsided it might look on the surface, Lindsay and Sam make the case that this is a genuine win-win — and explain exactly why using data, cap analysis, and draft strategy.They're joined by SumerSports analyst Shawn Syed to break down what this means on the field for both teams, how the double team effect changes everything for the Rams' defense, and what Jared Verse's pressure numbers actually say about how much of a drop-off Cleveland is really taking on. 1:14 – How This Compares to the Micah Parsons Trade & the Growing Market for Elite Defenders2:14 – Lindsay Called This a Year Ago — And Was Hugely Unpopular in Cleveland for It2:51 – The Compensation: Verse + 1st + 2nd + 3rd — Is It Enough?3:38 – The Real Prize for Cleveland: Draft Capital to Go Get a Quarterback4:38 – Why Holding Myles Garrett Without a QB Gets You 5 Wins a Year5:04 – Three Elements That Made This Deal Happen: Value, Contract Timelines & Discount Rates6:04 – What Most People Don't Know About Jared Verse6:48 – Myles Garrett's Advanced Stats in Cleveland's Wins at the End of Last Season8:18 – Can Garrett Actually Move a Spread Line?
