Myles Garrett Was Traded To WHO? | Hour 2

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz41mJune 2, 2026
AI-Generated Summary

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz dives into the seismic shock of Myles Garrett being traded to the Los Angeles Rams — a move described as one of the biggest in sports history, surpassing even the A.J. Brown trade in significance. The hosts debate why Garrett’s trade, despite being completely unexpected, overshadowed the well-publicized Patriots move, calling it a masterstroke by the Rams' front office under Sean McVay. They highlight the irony that a team with no cap space and a quarterback in decline pulled off a blockbuster by absorbing Garrett’s massive contract — effectively turning a 5-year, $178 million deal into a 3-year, $99 million commitment. The episode critiques the NFL’s salary cap myth, celebrates the Rams’ boldness, and contrasts it with the Browns’ decade-long mismanagement, calling the trade a theft of greatness from a "dumpster fire" franchise. The conversation also unpacks the cultural parallels between Garrett and LeBron James, questioning whether modern athletes can ever achieve the legacy of Muhammad Ali, and mocks the media’s obsession with gossip over substance.

Key Takeaways
1

The Myles Garrett trade is one of the biggest in sports history, surpassing even the A.J. Brown move in impact and surprise.

2

The Rams absorbed Garrett’s $178 million contract over five years but effectively turned it into a $99 million three-year deal with minimal cap hit next year.

3

The trade was possible because the Rams had no cap space — proving the NFL salary cap is a myth when teams are all-in on a championship window.

4

Garrett’s departure leaves the Browns with only a first-round pick, a sign of their long-term dysfunction despite his dominance.

5

The Rams’ move mirrors the Luka Dončić trade — a surprise blockbuster where one team steals a generational talent from a struggling franchise.
