Earlier this offseason, the Dolphins said they\u2019re looking to explore trade options for the Pro Bowler, so it looks like they\u2019re heading towards a divorce, as Miami general manager Chris Grier is in discussion with several teams. The Rams are no stranger to Ramsey, who was one of their best defensive secondary talent, making him the highest-paid defensive back in the league in 2023.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, it wasn\u2019t enough for the Rams to keep him since he didn\u2019t fit the billing anymore. Originally selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising if the Rams brought him back on a restructured deal. The team has plenty of young talent in their secondary and would benefit from a veteran presence like Ramsey to help Akhello Witherspoon and\u00a0Darious Williams. However, his 2025 deal could complicate things for teams wanting to acquire him since all of his money is guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>Ramsey is still one of the best defensive talents in the league, and it\u2019s hard to imagine he stays on the Dolphins since both are trying to move on. He won\u2019t get a new contract, and the Rams won\u2019t be the only team that will pursue him. The Chargers and Ravens could intervene in the trade talks to offer during the NFL Draft, that they can\u2019t turn down.<\/p>\n<h2>Chargers, Ravens Could Disrupt Rams Potential Jalen Ramsey Trade Talks<\/h2>\n<h3>Cashing out Los Angeles<\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-24\">\n<div id=\"lwos_incontent_1\" align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x250\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/15184186,22512265771\/lwos_incontent_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last season, the Los Angeles Chargers got farther into the 2024 campaign than anyone was anticipating. Despite that, they couldn\u2019t get past the wild-card round, but it\u2019s still a solid mark to begin head coach Jim Harbaugh\u2019s tenure in Los Angeles. While they need a new wide receiver in the worst possible way, they could use another talent in their secondary. After\u00a0losing Kristian Fulton in free agency\u00a0and letting Asante Samuel Jr. hit the market, the Chargers should be looking for a capable upgrade.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-55\"><\/div>\n<p>Alohi Gilman and\u00a0Derwin James Jr. should retain their starting roles, but they should look to upgrade the position anyway. After re-signing Elijah Molden, he could pair with Jalen Ramsey as the new emerging starters in this unit. This would be a great benefit for the Chargers\u2019 defense, which will look dramatically different this upcoming 2025 season. Ramsey has championship experience and could push Harbaugh\u2019s philosophy to the highest level.<\/p>\n<h3>Championship Roster in Baltimore?<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens have high hopes for undrafted talent Ar\u2019Darius Washington for stepping into free agent Marcus Williams\u2019 starting role.\u00a0The team will still draft a safety during the draft, despite the change, since the Ravens want to add extra depth in their unit. However, even though Washington may start, they can\u2019t let Kyle Hamilton\u2019s talents go to waste.<\/p>\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He could get better if he had someone like Ramsey on the other end of the stick. Both of these talents in the aerial attack could be a problem for opposing offenses, which would heighten this defense to the fullest. The Ravens have one of the most dangerous offenses in the league, and it\u2019s time to get some efficient talent to help guys like Marlon Humphrey and\u00a02024 draft pick Nate Wiggins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Rams and one All-Pro could be discussion for a reunion but at least two contenders could intervene in those talks.
