The Miami Dolphins have traded defensive star Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a huge offseason move.
Ramsey, a three-time All-Pro cornerback, will be rewarded with a $1.5million pay rise.
It means the cornerback, who was also wanted by the Los Angeles Rams, will get up to $26.6m in compensation for next season.
Ramsey's arrival continues an impressive offseason for Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.
He persuaded Aaron Rodgers to continue his NFL career and be Pittsburgh's starting quarterback, having also traded for Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf.
Ramsey's future had dominated much of the offseason after he and Miami agreed to explore a potential trade back in April.

The 30-year-old did not attend any of Miami's organized team activities or mandatory minicamp as he tried to find a way out.
Ramsey's switch to Pittsburgh comes less than a year after he signed a three-year contract extension with the Dolphins.
Now he will be joining an ominous Steelers defense as they look to progress past the wildcard round of the playoffs.
Tomlin's team managed to make the playoffs last year but lost to bitter rivals Baltimore Ravens 28-14 in the first round.
