LA Rams in discussions to trade Super Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey

The Los Angeles Rams have had trade talks regarding superstar cornerback Jalen Ramsey and he is expected to be traded “in the coming weeks.” according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Ramsey, 28, owes $17 million in 2023 in an anticipated deal averaging $20 million and LA appears to be in salary-cap clearance mode after Bobby Wagner’s release.

Rams COO Kevin Demoff recently hinted: “I think for all of our players it’s going to be about figuring out what’s best moving forward … but we couldn’t be more grateful to Jalen for what he’s done for the Rams. in leading this defense.”

Ramsey also appeared to hint at his departure in January when he posted a tweet that read: “It is what it is! It was what it was! If that’s the end of it I came out with a BANG! Still THAT! as the caption for various photos and videos of himself with the Rams team.

The six-time Pro Bowler still plays at the elite level that made him an integral part of the Rams’ 2021 Super Bowl-winning season.

The LA Rams have had trade talks revolving around superstar cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

Ramsey has still played at an elite level on the field and was recently named to the Pro Bowl.

He racked up 88 tackles, 18 pass breakups and four interceptions last year and started all 17 games this season.

LA seems a long way from glory, two-year Super Bowl glory, however, after finishing the season with a 5-12 record and in desperate need of salary cap space.

With a long list of holes to fill, a cornerback who makes as much money as Ramsey is too great a luxury for the team to afford, no matter how good he is.

LA also has question marks at the most important and most expensive quarterback position.

Matthew Stafford’s future remains uncertain due to injuries and backup quarterback Baker Mayfield will become a free agent.
