Boston Globe Ranks Rams' Myles Garrett Trade No. 1 Among 10 Top NFL Offseason Moves

3 articles · Updated · The Boston Globe · Jun 6

Summary

  • The Globe put the Rams’ trade for 30-year-old Myles Garrett atop its 2026 offseason rankings, arguing the deal makes Los Angeles the Super Bowl favorite after adding the league’s most dominant defender.
  • Garrett cost a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second, a 2029 third and pass rusher Jared Verse, but the paper said his $36 million annual average looks manageable against a $50 million top-edge market.
  • John Harbaugh’s hiring by the Giants ranked third, while the Vikings’ one-year, $1.3 million flier on Kyler Murray and the Raiders’ $27 million-a-year deal for center Tyler Linderbaum also made the top five.
  • Other highlighted moves included Mike McDaniel joining the Chargers as offensive coordinator, Mike McCarthy taking over the Steelers, Dexter Lawrence landing with Cincinnati and the Titans rebuilding their staff around Cam Ward.
  • Beyond the rankings, the report said retired star Aaron Donald, 35, is openly considering a Rams return alongside Garrett, a possibility coach Sean McVay said the team has discussed.
