Trade speculation is running high with whispers surrounding a potential move of All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The situation presents a unique opportunity for Pittsburgh, as the Miami Dolphins appear eager to offload Ramsey’s substantial contract.
When Ramsey was traded from the Rams to the Dolphins, the deal involved only a third-round pick and tight end Hunter Long, but that was two years ago when his financial terms seemed more manageable. Now, with a contract extending until 2029 and staggering salaries looming—$25 million due in 2026, $26.8 million in 2027, and $36.1 million in 2028—teams may find acquiring him a challenge.
Given these constraints, Miami might be willing to settle for a lower return, possibly a Day 3 draft pick, which opens the door for the Steelers to make a significant addition to their defense. If they were to acquire Ramsey, it could reshape their secondary into one of the most formidable in the NFL, combining his talent with cornerbacks Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay Jr., alongside safeties Minkah Fitzpatrick and DeShon Elliott.
The question remains whether the Steelers will act on this opportunity or if Ramsey will be traded to another team. A move for such an elite player could greatly enhance Pittsburgh’s defensive capabilities and set them up for success in the coming seasons.
