McVay admits Rams considering reunion with Jalen Ramsey, but trade discussions haven’t heated up | Sports

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams would still love a reunion with Jalen Ramsey if they can swing a trade to reacquire the star cornerback from the Miami Dolphins.

Rams coach Sean McVay also said Wednesday that those trade discussions haven’t advanced in recent weeks — and if a deal doesn’t happen, McVay is quite happy to enter the new season with the defensive backs already on Los Angeles’ roster.
