Joe Flacco Welcomes Myles Garrett Trade to Rams, Easing Bengals' 2 Browns Matchups

Joe Flacco called Myles Garrett’s trade from Cleveland to the Rams “good for us,” welcoming the exit of a pass rusher who had been a direct AFC North problem for Cincinnati.
Garrett’s move removes a division rival the Bengals would have faced twice this season, immediately lightening the burden on an offense led by Flacco and protected by Amarius Mims and Orlando Brown Jr.
Mims said the news created a leaguewide buzz because Garrett is “a future Hall of Famer,” while Brown called it a strong move for both Garrett and a contender in Los Angeles.
Brown also stressed the Bengals cannot focus on other teams’ moves, saying Cincinnati still has to “go win on Sundays” despite the clearer path against Cleveland.
