Why Myles Garrett Waived His No-Trade Clause To Finalize Move To The Rams

The Rams completed a blockbuster trade for star DE Myles Garrett — but only after he waived a no‑trade clause, something that made GM Les Snead nervous during weeks of negotiations.
Garrett said he slept on the decision and ultimately agreed to the move, citing roots in Los Angeles and the chance to join a winning team with immediate Super Bowl potential.
Snead and coach Sean McVay compared the deal’s rarity and impact to the Matthew Stafford trade — the Rams even included rising pass rusher Jared Verse and draft compensation to get it done.
