Dolphins reportedly land Rams CB Jalen Ramsey in major trade

The Miami Dolphins needed improved cornerback performance, and they appear to have just acquired one of the finest in the League. According to NFL Media, the Dolphins have acquired Los Angeles Rams CB Jalen Ramsey. According to reports, the Rams will receive a third-round draft selection in 2023 as well as tight end Hunter Long, and Ramsey's contract will be guaranteed for 2023 and 2024. The phrasing of the stories made it clear that the transaction was not final — nothing can be final until the league year begins on Wednesday — but it seemed to be all but done. And Ramsey seems pleased with the adjustment. Ramsey was a key contributor to the Rams' Super Bowl victory two years ago after being acquired in a major deal. Yet, the Rams had a losing season last year and have been reported in the past month to be eager to move Ramsey and receiver Allen Robinson II. Ramsey is 28 years old and should have some solid years ahead in him, but the Rams can free up salary-cap room and reclaim draft capital after selling away a lot of selections in recent years. It's an aggressive move to improve the Dolphins' defense, who made the playoffs last season and look to be on the upswing. And another another move that strengthens the AFC.
