Arguably the NFL’s best player just joined one of the NFL’s best teams.
Expect fireworks in L.A.

Let’s check out the odds for how Garrett’s first season in L.A. might go down, at FanDuel Sportsbook as of June 4.

The Rams were just a game away from the Super Bowl last season, falling to NFC West rival Seattle in the NFC Championship Game by only four points.
L.A. started this offseason by trading for star cornerback Trent McDuffie, and have now landed a two-time Defensive Player of the Year that many view as the best player in the league, regardless of position.
Garrett is a five-time first-team All-Pro selection, seven-time Pro Bowler, and just last season set the single-season record for sacks (23). He has eight consecutive seasons of at least 10 sacks, and he led the NFL in tackles for loss each of the last two seasons.
