Jalen Ramsey, cornerback for the Los Angeles Rams, is on his way to the Miami Dolphins in a trade that was recently agreed upon by both teams.
According to various sources, the Dolphins will acquire Ramsey, while the Rams will receive Hunter Long, a tight end, and the Dolphins’ 2023 third-round pick, which is the 77th overall pick.
Although the deal has yet to be finalized, both teams have agreed to it and are awaiting the new league year, which begins on Wednesday. Ramsey is still performing at a high level, but his enormous salary cap hit and the Rams’ unstable cap situation made them eager to trade him.
LA Rams trade Jalen Ramsay to save $5.6 Million in cap space
Ramsey is set to make a $17 million base salary in 2023, and the trade will save the Rams $5.6 million in cap space this year.
Long, on the other hand, was a 2021 third-round pick who has seen limited action in his first two NFL seasons. This trade signifies a significant move for the Dolphins, demonstrating that they are serious about contending this season.
Meanwhile, the Rams are reminded that their Super Bowl-winning roster of 2021 will look vastly different from the team they will field in 2023.
Fans of both teams are eagerly anticipating the official announcement of the trade, which is expected to happen in the coming days. Ramsey will bring a wealth of experience and skill to the Dolphins‘ secondary, which is already considered one of the best in the league.
As for the Rams, they will undoubtedly use their newfound cap space to bolster their roster and remain competitive in the upcoming season.
