Could Jalen Ramsey Return to the Rams? Here's What's Really Going On
Alright, let’s talk about the buzz swirling around Jalen Ramsey and a possible reunion with the Los Angeles Rams. The rumors have been heating up lately, especially as we pass that critical NFL date—June 1st. But what’s really going on behind the scenes?
So, here's where things stand. Rams head coach Sean McVay has made it clear: they haven’t closed the door on a potential Ramsey return. But—and this is key—he also said there haven’t been any “meaningful, tangible” talks about it either. That pretty much means: nothing solid is happening yet, but they’re not ruling it out.
Now, why does June 1 matter so much in all of this? It comes down to the salary cap. If the Miami Dolphins trade Ramsey after June 1, they save nearly $6 million on the 2025 cap. Before that date, the cap hit would've been brutal—over $12 million. So yes, there's definitely some financial strategy at play here, and Ramsey himself even dropped cryptic hints on social media this past week. Seems like he knows what’s coming.

As for McVay, he spoke very fondly of Ramsey, calling him someone they “love intimately.” That says a lot about the relationship they built during his time in LA. But at the same time, McVay was pretty honest. He said a move like this would take a lot—compensation, money, and strategy. They’d need to make some serious adjustments, and right now, there’s just not much happening in terms of trade discussions.
Ramsey, who’s now 30, hasn’t been named All-Pro since 2021, but he’s still performing at a high level. He was a Pro Bowler in 2023 despite missing part of the season, and last year he played in 17 games, notching 60 tackles, two picks, a sack, and 11 pass deflections. In short—he’s still a top-tier corner.
So where does he end up? The Rams, Cowboys, and Commanders are all in the mix, according to reports. But Ramsey carries a $24 million per year contract, and that’s a big number for teams to swallow—so the Dolphins may not get much in return. We’re talking maybe a mid-round draft pick or a younger cornerback.
As for the Dolphins, they’ve been pretty tight-lipped. Coach Mike McDaniel dodged every question about Ramsey with skillful PR finesse. Clearly, they’re moving on, but they’re not interested in explaining why just yet. If it’s not about money—and they’ve suggested it isn’t—then it could be about fit. Ramsey’s a strong personality, a star who marches to the beat of his own drum, and maybe Miami just didn’t see long-term chemistry.
Bottom line? This story’s still unfolding. And if you’re a Rams fan, keep your eyes open—because while nothing’s cooking yet, the kitchen isn’t closed either.
