Steelers Rumor Connects To Jalen Ramsey Trade At Cheap Price

We can argue that the Pittsburgh Steelers don't have a glaring need at cornerback.

But what if they can get an upgrade - a big one - at the right price?

The hated Ravens did just that this week by signing corner Jaire Alexander to be their second boundary corner opposite Nate Wiggins. It’s a move that pushes them towards a Super Bowl ... and it will cost them just $4 million in base salary.

What say you, Steelers?

What about a trade for Miami Dolphins corner Jalen Ramsey, Steelers?

Ramsey is 29 years old. He's got 24 interceptions in 135 games, so he's a ballhawk. Miami wants to dump him rather than pay him and so a trade is coming.

One report claims “Ramsey would cost $9.9 million in cap space to acquire'' (we're not sure about that math) but insider Mark Kaboly is now suggesting another affordable aspect of this potential get. On Kaboly + Mack. In th, he talked of the Steelers getting Ramsey for a fifth-round pick.

The Steelers have Darius Slay Jr. and Joey Porter Jr. at corner; that's an accomplished pair. Ramsey, say, in the slot? That's an accomplished trio.

There are issues here regarding what Ramsey might want to get as part of his future contract; it was just a year ago that he signed a deal with Miami worth $72 million. And one wonders ... why do the Dolphins want out?

But, from what we know?

In the end, Ramsey makes sense on paper. ... and if the cost is really this cheap? He makes sense in most every way.
