Overview

  • The Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams are actively negotiating a trade for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, with discussions centering on financial terms and draft compensation.
  • The Dolphins are delaying any final deal until after June 1 to optimize salary-cap relief, a key factor in the ongoing talks.
  • Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed the team's interest in a potential reunion with Ramsey, emphasizing his high level of play and prior contributions to the Rams' Super Bowl-winning defense.
  • Ramsey's $24.1 million annual salary and guaranteed money are critical components of the negotiations, influenced by recent cornerback market resets from Derek Stingley Jr. and Jaycee Horn.
  • Both sides acknowledge mutual benefits in a trade, but no agreement has been finalized as the Rams evaluate the financial and roster implications of acquiring Ramsey.
