Jalen Ramsey Trade to Dolphins ‘A High Likelihood’; Future Bills Rivalry in AFC East?
AFC East #AFCEast
The Los Angeles Rams are reportedly in deep trade talks with the Miami Dolphins for a deal that would send star cornerback Jalen Ramsey to South Beach, which would suddenly make him rivals with the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East.
The Buffalo Bills could soon have another star to worry about in the AFC East.
Per multiple reports Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams are in deep trade talks with the Miami Dolphins for a deal that would send star cornerback Jalen Ramsey to South Beach.
“I’m told the Rams & the Dolphins are in deep discussions on a trade for CB Jalen Ramsey,” CBS Sports NFL insider Josina Anderson tweeted Sunday. “A deal is not finalized, but there’s ‘a high likelihood’ it happens, at this time, per a league source. A lot of teams are interested in Ramsey, but the focus is on where he wants to be.”
Additional reports from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport states that Miami is Ramsey’s “preferred destination” and that the deal is “on the verge of happening.”
Ramsey has even admitted himself that a trade centered around him can’t be ruled out this offseason.
Set to make a base salary of $17 million next year per Spotrac, rumors have swirled of Ramsey potentially being on the chopping block due to LA’s need for cap room. He’s been catching glimpses of all the recent gossip surrounding his uncertain future with the Rams.
“100% chance I WON’T get cut … God bless tho,” Ramsey tweeted in February. “This misinformation people run with is hilarious.”
However, in the now-deleted tweet, Ramsey was brutally honest when addressing the likelihood of him being traded.
“I can PROMISE you, I won’t get cut… now trade? Maybe lol,” Ramsey tweeted.
If the Dolphins can officially land Ramsey, their defense would seemingly see a boost by adding a six-time Pro Bowler. This past season, he started all 17 games and finished with four interceptions for the second straight season. He also had two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and recorded his first-career sack before finishing the season with two of them.
