Jalen Ramsey Traded From Dolphins To Steelers

Ramsey had a productive stint with the Rams from 2019-22 that saw him record 10 interceptions, 47 passes defensed, four forced fumbles, two sacks and 242 tackles in 57 games. He lived up to his reputation as a lockdown corner as he earned three Pro Bowl selections and helped them win Super Bowl LVI.

The Rams now have a revamped secondary that includes Quentin Lake, Kam Curl, Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon, among others. The thought was that they could use one more starting caliber cornerback like Ramsey, but it never came to fruition. It will be interesting to see if they now just stick with what they have in-house or pursue some of the other corners left on the free agent market.

Rams wanted Jalen Ramsey to return

Quentin Lake previously expressed his hope that the Rams would work out a deal to bring back Jalen Ramsey, and head coach Sean McVay also hinted at the possibility.

“He’s a great player. We know him very well. We know him intimately. You would certainly never rule out the possibility of that, but like Les articulated, our focus and concentration are on this week’s upcoming draft,” McVay said earlier this year.

“There are a lot of layers that would need to be worked out with a player of his magnitude and some of the different things that accompany that, but you would never eliminate the possibility of adding a total stud and a guy that can do a lot of different things, like he’s continued to do. Like he did here, like he did in Jacksonville and like he’s done over the last couple of years in Miami.”
