Jalen Ramsey Trade 'Close' As Steelers Urged To Add Third Star Cornerback

The Pittsburgh Steelers can make the argument that with Darius Slay Jr. and Joey Porter Jr. in the lineup, they aren't especially starving for cornerbacks.

But a contending team can never have enough good players.

And the Miami Dolphins continue to dangle Jalen Ramsey in trade.

So, as multiple NFL people now believe a deal involving Ramsey going somewhere (West Coast?) ... Steelers watchers are urging it on for Pittsburgh as they seem to think it should happen here.

The biggest obstacle? It's the big number, as he's on a $72 million contract.

The biggest weapon if the Steelers are interested? Cap space and a treasure chest full of selections - a league-high 12 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

How little can the Steelers give? How much of the financial freight might the Dolphins carry for the privilege of getting rid of him?

Oh, want more questions?

If Jalen Ramsey is still a "final piece to the puzzle'' talent - Dolphins teammate Tyreek Hill is not campaigning to keep him - why is Miami so willing to dump him?

And more ...

What difference does it make "where Ramsey wants to go?'' He's under contract; why does he get to choose a West Coast team as if he's a free agent?

All things considered, Ramsey might be more trouble than he's worth to the Steelers team ... especially if that argument that with Darius Slay Jr. and Joey Porter Jr. in the lineup ends up being a winning one.
