Myles Garrett sends warning to Seahawks before 2026 season

Earlier this offseason the Los Angeles Rams shocked the football world by trading for NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett.

As the former No. 1 overall pick settles into his new home in Los Angeles, he’s already calling out one of the team’s biggest rivals. The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year was asked by Rams play-by-play radio host J.B. Long at the team’s alternate uniform reveal on Thursday night which team in the NFC West he was most excited to face this season.

“I want the champs,” Garrett said. “… They won it all, and I’ve got to see what that’s about. They feel like they’ve got the pieces to run it back, and I feel like we’ve got the pieces to take over.”

After watching an NFC West rival win the Super Bowl, the Rams immediately got to work improving the team’s roster. Star quarterback Matthew Stafford announced his plans to return for another season as Los Angeles made trades for Garrett and star corner Trent McDuffie.

Garrett has accomplished everything possible in the NFL without winning a Super Bowl – or very many playoff games.

He’s reached seven Pro Bowls, made five All-Pro first teams and has an active streak of six straight seasons with at least 12 sacks. Last year, he set the NFL’s all-time single-season record with 23 sacks.

But can he win the big one?
