As minicamps wind down, the league’s trade board fills fast. On June 1 the Cleveland Browns shipped two‑time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, receiving edge rusher Jared Verse and first‑, second‑ and third‑round picks through 2029. The Rams, lacking a consistent pass rusher, expect Garrett to anchor their front seven immediately.

A week later Atlanta bolstered its line by acquiring former Kansas City starter Wanya Morris. The Chiefs, who drafted the 2023 third‑round pick, cut him after a season‑ending left‑knee injury in December, leaving the Falcons to fill the void left by retiring right tackle Kaleb McGary. Atlanta hopes Morris can start at left tackle, opening a spot for rookie guard Tyler Wilson.

The Patriots completed a high‑profile swap, bringing veteran receiver A.J. Brown from Philadelphia in exchange for a 2028 first‑rounder and a 2027 fifth‑round pick. At 29, Brown reunites with coach Mike Vrabel and becomes Drake Maye’s primary target, while the Eagles stockpile future assets. Clubs view the moves as immediate upgrades rather than salary‑cap maneuvers.
