In an interview with Browns broadcaster Nathan Zegura, [Jared Verse] revealed what he told his Rams teammates in that meeting room.

“When he gave me that news, my mindset wasn’t, ‘Oh my god, I’ve got to leave. I’ve got to pack up my house. I’ve got to go across the country.’ My mindset was, ‘I’ve got to leave my teammates, I’ve got to leave my brothers behind, because I don’t want to leave my brothers. ’”

“So if I'm going to, I want to address them. I don’t want them to find out from ESPN or from this news site or that news site. I want them to hear it from me. Went to the team room, Coach, he released it, he told everybody that, ‘We’re trading Jared,’ and I got to tell everybody. I said, ‘It sucks I'm not going to be here. I love you guys to death. You guys are going to go out there, you guys are going to dominate, you guys are going to do everything you can do and you guys are going to play the best you can. You guys got 17 games for sure. Who knows what’s going to happen after that but just go dominate.’"

“And I told them the most important thing, ‘Make sure’ – and I'm not going to cuss – ‘Make sure you beat the Seahawks. That’s all I care about,’” he said.
