Financial Hurdles Complicate Possible Jalen Ramsey Trade

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has indicated interest in reacquiring Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, but financial hurdles remain a major obstacle. Ramsey is owed $72 million over the next three years, resulting in a $24–25 million annual cap hit, which complicates potential trade scenarios. To facilitate a deal, both teams would need to negotiate compensation, and Miami may need to lower its asking price or retain part of Ramsey's salary. Despite mutual interest and Ramsey's strong on-field performance, no formal trade discussions have taken place, leaving the situation unresolved. McVay emphasized that such a trade would require significant advance planning and salary cap flexibility. As of now, Ramsey continues to play for the Dolphins, with his future uncertain.
