Jalen Ramsey sparked theories of his next move with a succinct X post Sunday . He's now the newest member of the Pittsburgh Steelers -- which imploded the Los Angeles Rams' chances of a reunion. 

Ramsey, the Miami Dolphins and Steelers all finalized the blockbuster deal Monday. Minkah Fitzpatrick heads to Miami as part of this move. 

But again, the Rams miss out on luring back the beloved CB from the 2021 Super Bowl run. And miss on potentially bolstering the experience in the cornerback room ahead of training camp. The Rams got met with reactions after the trade, with some placing the franchise under fire. 

"Who is the Rams CB1?" one Rams fan asked via X after the Ramsey deal completed itself. 

Downtown Rams hose Jake Ellenbogen shared some mixed feelings about the move

"Rams like their CB room but they clearly wanted to add one more guy. Chidobe Awuzie and Jalen Ramsey both head to the AFC North," Ellenbogen said. "If they add anyone I believe it would be at the deadline. I also am in the minority that believes they are set at CB and this was just a luxury. Doesn’t mean I didn’t want said luxury."

One more fan wanted to "Pour one out for Rams fans who thought they were going to get Jalen on the cheap today." Meaning they thought Ramsey would come on a less expensive deal. 

But money swung the advantage over to Pittsburgh. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport revealed the Steelers will pay the rest of the $26.6 million Ramsey is owed. 

There are Rams fans believing the team is already content with the CB room. The team did bring back Derion Kendrick. Cobie Durant has one more year left on his deal. Emmanuel Forbes Jr. is also in the building. Even Ahkello Witherspoon gets another crack with the Rams.
