Ja'Marr Chase Had 3-Word Reaction to Myles Garrett Trade

Here’s a cleaner, more polished version with improved grammar, flow, and readability:

The NFL world was stunned on Monday when the Cleveland Browns traded All-Pro pass rusher Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams.

In return, Cleveland acquired star linebacker Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick.

Garrett is coming off a historic season in which he recorded a league-record 23.0 sacks. The star defender had also signed a massive long-term contract extension with Cleveland in 2025, making the move even more surprising.

After nine seasons with the Browns, Garrett leaves Cleveland as one of the most accomplished players in franchise history. During his tenure, he earned seven Pro Bowl selections, five First-Team All-Pro honors, and two Defensive Player of the Year awards.

Now, he joins a Rams team that is firmly among the favorites to contend for a Super Bowl championship.

Many around the league have weighed in on the blockbuster deal, but Ja’Marr Chase had a reaction that likely mirrored the feelings of just about every AFC North player not wearing a Browns uniform.

“Good for us,” Chase said when asked about the trade.

He then doubled down on his response.

“I don’t really care, but good for us,” Chase added.

Other Bengals star WR Tee Higgins had a similar reaction to the news.

"Good deal," Higgins said. "But, you know, I'm happy for him. He's in a good place, but it's good for us as well, I guess."
