Jalen Ramsey Joins the Steelers: The Long-Awaited Move Confirmed!

On Monday morning, the Miami Dolphins finalized a trade sending Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers, concluding months of speculation. The ex-cornerback for the Los Angeles Rams will stay within the AFC, joining Mike Tomlin’s team in the North division. According to reports by @RapSheet and @TomPelissero, this significant offseason move by the Steelers marks a pivotal moment. In April, it was revealed that Ramsey and the Dolphins would separate amicably ahead of the 2025 season. Financial constraints regarding Miami’s salary cap meant that any trade would likely not occur until post-June 1, to avoid incurring substantial dead cap penalties. During his tenure from 2019 to 2022 with the Rams, Ramsey proved himself to be an invaluable asset, securing a Super Bowl LVI title and earning three Pro Bowl selections alongside two first-team All-Pro honors. Sean McVay consistently addressed trade rumors, affirming that any decisions hinge on multiple factors—including financial considerations. With Ramsey now signed by the Steelers, the narrative has reached its conclusion, and he will enjoy a $1.5 million salary increase in 2025.
