Arguably the NFL’s best player just joined one of the NFL’s best teams.
Expect fireworks in LA
The football world was shocked this week when the Los Angeles Rams traded for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett.
Garrett, 30, had spent each of his nine professional seasons with the Cleveland Browns, where he had a surplus of individual success but appeared in only three playoff games total.
Let’s see the odds on how Garrett’s first season in LA might go down at FanDuel Sportsbook on June 4th.

Football fans are still wrapping their heads around this one.
The Rams were just one game away from the Super Bowl last season, falling to NFC West rival Seattle in the NFC Championship Game by just four points.
LA began this offseason by trading for star cornerback Trent McDuffie, and now has a two-time Defensive Player of the Year who many see as the best player in the league at any position.
Garrett is a five-time first-team All-Pro selection, seven-time Pro Bowler, and just last season set the single-season record for sacks (23). He has eight consecutive seasons with at least 10 sacks, and he led the NFL in tackles for loss each of the last two seasons.
As for Garrett reaching 20 sacks, he has only done it once in his career (last season). Before that, his career high in a season was 16.
