The NFL world was set ablaze on Monday when it was reported that the Los Angeles Rams had traded for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like most who live outside of the greater Los Angeles area, 49ers star left tackle Trent Williams had a blunt way of putting the rival\u2019s addition.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sucks,\u201d Williams joked to reporters<\/a> on Wednesday, saying that he feels the same way as everyone outside of Rams country.<\/p>\n

Garrett, 30, led the NFL in sacks last season while breaking the league record with 23 sacks in a single year and currently leads the NFL among active players with 125.5 career sacks.<\/p>\n

For the Rams, this isn\u2019t the first time they went \u201call in,\u201d per se. In 2021<\/a>, the team traded starting quarterback Jared Goff and three draft picks \u2013 including two first-round picks — for Matthew Stafford.<\/p>\n

That decision led to the franchise winning its first title in more than two decades as they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI \u2013 a title game played at the Rams\u2019 home field, SoFi Stadium.<\/p>\n

Fast forward five years and Super Bowl LXI is slated to be played in Inglewood, Calif., at that same stadium come next February.<\/p>\n

For the 49ers and 30 other teams, they\u2019re hoping history doesn\u2019t repeat itself.<\/p>\n
