Jalen Ramsey Joins Steelers in Surprise Move

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USAMon Jun 30 2025
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a big splash by trading for star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. This move comes after the Dolphins made it clear they were open to trading him. Ramsey, who is 30 years old, has been a top performer in the NFL, earning three All-Pro honors and seven Pro Bowl selections. The Steelers are not done making big moves this offseason. They have already added other high-profile players like DK Metcalf, Darius Slay, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This trade for Ramsey shows that the Steelers are serious about improving their defense. Ramsey will be playing for his fourth team in his career. Last season, he started all 17 games for the Dolphins, recording two interceptions, 11 passes defensed, and a sack. The Steelers are giving him a $1. 5 million raise in 2025, making his salary $26. 6 million. The Los Angeles Rams were also interested in trading for Ramsey, but the Steelers were able to get the deal done. It is not clear what the Dolphins received in return for Ramsey, but the trade is expected to be finalized soon. This trade is a big deal for the Steelers, who are looking to compete in the AFC North. With Ramsey on their roster, they have a strong chance to improve their defense and make a run at the playoffs.
