As usual, Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead has been busy upgrading the roster this offseason. Of course, some moves are bigger and better than others, like trading for Myles Garrett.
But the Rams aren’t the only team that made changes and roster upgrades this offseason. Yet, some feel like they made the NFL’s best offseason move.
Recently, Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton ranked the best moves of the 2026 NFL offseason. Perhaps it’s recency bias, or maybe it’s because they landed a future Hall of Famer at the peak of his career, Moton had the Rams’ trade for Myles Garrett ranked No. 1.
“The Los Angeles Rams pulled off the biggest blockbuster trade of the offseason so far. They swapped edge-rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-rounder, a 2028 second-rounder and a conditional 2029 third-rounder for Myles Garrett. The Rams have reigning league MVP Matthew Stafford leading the No. 1 scoring and total offense from 2025. Now, they have the all-time single-season sack leader in his prime. This move is so good that Aaron Donald is thinking about coming out of retirement.”

Since conducting the Garrett trade, the Rams have emerged as Super Bowl favorites heading into the 2026 season. But as we’ve seen time and time again, just because a team wins the offseason, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll win a Lombardi Trophy too.
Still, the Rams have a top-tier offense, and with Garrett, they’ll likely return with a top-tier defense again too. Last year, the scoring attack ranked first in points, and the defense ranked 10th in points allowed.
Can they maintain that same success while going further in the playoffs? That’s the challenge heading into a new season with a roster full of star talent.
