Jalen Ramsey has Rams ‘on his radar’ in potential trade

The Rams continue to be linked to Ramsey with a trade likely coming soon

Now that the calendar has flipped to June, the Miami Dolphins are much more likely to trade Jalen Ramsey at some point soon. A post-June 1 trade is feasible financially for the Dolphins, whereas trading him in the past few months would’ve cost them much more on the salary cap in 2025.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler shared an update on Ramsey’s situation during an appearance on “SportsCenter” Sunday and he reiterated that the Los Angeles Rams are a viable landing spot.

According to Fowler, Ramsey has the Rams “on his radar as a potential option,” though there hasn’t been any movement yet.

“The LA Rams, Ramsey’s old team, is on his radar as a potential option. Nothing moving there as of yet. He should have a new team this fall,” Fowler said.

As for the timeline of when the Dolphins could move the All-Pro cornerback, Fowler says they’re expected to trade him in the coming days and weeks.

“The expectation is that Ramsey will be traded in the coming days and weeks,” Fowler said. “They can save about $10 million on their salary cap if they do so. That is not the issue. He’s got $24 million guaranteed. That is the major issue here. Teams have been a little spooked by that.”

In Sean McVay’s latest update on the matter, he said the Rams and Dolphins haven’t had any “meaningful, tangible dialogue” lately, seemingly putting a deal on the backburner for L.A.

“But that can always change pretty quickly as you know,” he said, adding that the Rams “certainly haven’t closed the door” on a deal.

“There are a lot of layers with something of that magnitude when you’re talking about the caliber of the player, the compensation that they’re looking for in return, what does that look like in terms of how they want to handle what he’s actually due?” McVay said. “Obviously, we love Jalen. We know Jalen intimately. There would be some things that we would need to be able to do if that was going to be a direction that we went.”

It seems this situation is in wait-and-see mode but a resolution could come in the next days or weeks, as Fowler mentioned.
