Hour 3: More Myles Garrett to Rams Reactions with NFL Insider Tom Pelissero

The Rich Eisen Show breaks down the seismic NFL trade that sent Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams, a move that stunned the league and redefined both franchises' futures. Rich Eisen and NFL insider Tom Pelissero reveal the trade was in motion for weeks, with the Browns demanding Jared Verse, a high-upside young pass rusher, as part of the deal—along with multiple draft picks—making it one of the most lopsided trades in recent memory. The Rams, betting on a window with Matthew Stafford, sacrificed future assets to land Garrett, the only player capable of making Aaron Donald look like he’s aging. The trade isn’t just about talent—it’s a statement of intent: the Rams are all-in on a Super Bowl run, while the Browns are rebuilding with a generational reset. Despite fan outrage over the loss of Garrett, the show argues the Browns made a smart, long-term play, trading a future star for draft capital and a young, cost-controlled replacement. The episode also explores the irony of the Rams’ offseason—trading for Garrett while passing on A.J. Brown—proving that in Los Angeles, the blueprint for success is clear: win now, rebuild later. The episode’s most provocative takeaway? That Garrett’s departure wasn’t a failure of the Browns, but a calculated pivot to a new era. With a young quarterback in Ty Simpson and a draft class stacked with talent, Cleveland is no longer chasing a ring with a 30-year-old star—it’s building a dynasty.
