Jalen Ramsey has always followed the money and there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s why the Los Angeles Rams had to trade him in 2023 and also why they could only get a third round pick and Hunter Long from the Miami Dolphins to do so. Now only two seasons after the trade and less than a year after the Dolphins made Ramsey the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL on an extension, the two sides are set to part ways.
Miami would be elated to get the same third round pick and player that they gave up to get Ramsey in 2023, but this is the cratering value that the Rams knew would happen when they took that same package to trade him at a time when he was asking to be paid more than he’s worth.
