The Los Angeles Rams are reportedly interested in bringing back cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and it appears the feeling is mutual. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Ramsey has expressed a preference for returning to the West Coast, specifically naming the Rams and Chargers as desirable destinations. This development opens the door for a potential reunion between Ramsey and the Rams, where he previously played from 2019 to 2022.
The Miami Dolphins, Ramsey’s current team, have been exploring trade options for the star cornerback since early April. Despite expectations that a deal would materialize shortly after June 1, Ramsey remains on the Dolphins’ roster. This delay has raised questions about his future and which team will ultimately land him.
Jalen Ramsey (NFL)Ramsey Trade Expected Before Training Camps, But Salary Remains A Major Obstacle
Schefter suggested that a trade involving Ramsey could still be completed before NFL training camps begin in about a month. As teams finalize their rosters and prepare for the upcoming season, Ramsey’s situation will be closely monitored by franchises looking to boost their secondary with a proven All-Pro talent.
One key factor in any potential trade is Ramsey’s hefty salary. He is set to earn a fully guaranteed \$24.235 million in 2025, which poses a financial hurdle. For a deal to be completed, it is likely that the Dolphins will need to absorb part of that contract to make it palatable for the acquiring team.
