The Miami Dolphins are in talks with several teams about a trade involving cornerback Jalen Ramsey and the Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys are among the top teams to watch, according to one NFL insider.
A deal involving the seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback has been a foregone conclusion since April when Dolphins general manager Chris Grier announced in a press conference that the two sides were ready to part ways. The delay in a deal getting done is likely because Miami is waiting until June for salary cap reasons. The Dolphins have also reportedly been looking for interested teams to take on a significant portion of Ramsey’s $24.2 million fully guaranteed salary.

“The Dolphins haven’t shown a willingness to pay a lot of that money and neither do [other] teams,” Jeremy Fowler said Friday on ESPN’s SportsCenter. “The LA Rams have been previously involved here, they won a Super Bowl with Ramsey, they’re very familiar with the player. Nothing hard and fast, though, as far as a deal.
“NFC East could be one to watch. The Dallas Cowboys, they made three trades this offseason for players on rookie deals, could they make a fourth trade for a veteran who’s on a bigger contract? They need cornerback help. When I talked to someone in Dallas, they said ‘It’s possible we’re not done. It’s slow right now, but we could always be looking to add.'”
Last month, a report highlighted five teams — the Rams, Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders, and Philadelphia Eagles — as interested in Ramsey.
