Subject of blockbuster trade to the Rams. ESPN's Seth Walder argues the upgrade from Jared Verse to Garrett is not substantial enough to justify the investment, noting that Verse offers more surplus value (difference between what he is paid vs. what he would be paid on the open market) than Garrett over the next two years, even though Garrett will make below-market money from the Rams. Walder has softened his stance on the trade since originally grading it, though still believes it was not the best choice the Rams could have made; if Aaron Donald comes out of retirement, Garrett's worth to Los Angeles specifically would increase even further.

Source transcript excerpt
arguing that the upgrade from Jared Verse to Garrett is not substantial enough to justify the investment. 'Verse alone offers more surplus value — the difference between what he is being paid vs. what he would be paid on the open market — than Garrett over the next two years. Even though Garrett will make below-market money from the Rams, Verse is also a very good edge rusher (this cannot be overlooked!) who is making next to nothing.' If this deal results in Aaron Donald coming out of retirement, then Garrett's worth to Los Angeles specifically would increase even further. Overall, I was quite harsh on the Rams when I originally graded this trade and have somewhat softened my stance since.
