The Los Angeles Rams thought that they had enough.

Or maybe if you observed the Rams, you thought that they had enough because of Jared Verse.

And then you see them up the ante in getting Garrett.

What does that say about just what they think it takes to win and how much they were willing to deal to try to move up in rank?

We're talking to Daryl Ryder, the Browns' beat writer for 92-3, the fan in Cleveland.

He is at RyderWrongFan, like his last name, R-U-I-T-E-R, on X. And there was an article that I was beginning to read about this, Daryl, that talked about how, in a way, even this trade, trading away Myles Garrett, is a side effect and an...

result of the action of the Deshaun Watson contract.

How much do you believe that when it comes to just the money that was on the books?

He had an AAV of 40 million.

Did Garrett, did it affect the team at all?

What's the fun in that?

Well, Darrell, as you know, we have an affinity for Todd, not just because of his eccentricity, but also he is a local guy from the Chicago suburbs in Wheaton.

So that's cool, too.

Ah, that's good.

We'll be on the lookout, so to speak, for that audio.

Daryl, I know you have a million of these interviews today, but we thank you for taking the time with us.

Thanks, Daryl.

Thank you, Daryl.

That is Daryl Ryder.

He is at RyderWrongFan.
