Rams add Myles Garrett in blockbuster trade for Tsn Login

tsn login: The Rams acquired Myles Garrett in a blockbuster trade last week, then added versatile cornerback Trent McDuffie in the same push toward defense. The move gives Sean McVay’s team a clearer answer to a league that had started valuing stops again after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl.

Garrett changes the Rams' balance

Garrett gives the Rams a high-profile defensive player after years spent building a dynamic offense over the past few seasons. That shift matters because it shows the team is not relying on scoring alone to define its roster construction.

The trade also gives Rams defensive coordinator Shula another nudge. The article says Shula is now set up to become a head coach in 2027.

Defense became the new lane

The broader league move came after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, when teams started prioritizing defense and several clubs hired defensive-minded coaches. Jesse Minter went to the Ravens, Jeff Hafley went to the Dolphins, and Robert Saleh went to the Titans.

That cluster of hires matters to the Rams because it shows the trade was not a one-off splash move. It landed in a market where teams were already chasing the same idea, and McVay’s staff is described as the league’s best stepping stone for taking over an NFL team.

Shula, McVay and 2027

For Shula, the immediate question is not whether the Rams can appreciate the added talent. It is whether this defensive turn gives him a cleaner path to a head-coaching job in 2027.

The Rams have already shown their direction by pairing Garrett with McDuffie. The open question is whether that defensive reset becomes the roster’s new identity, or just the latest response to a league that changed course after Seattle’s title.
