Jalen Ramsey appears to be pretty stoked about his new NFL chapter.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport on Sunday afternoon reported the Rams and the Dolphins are finalizing a blockbuster trade that will send the star cornerback to Miami. One minute after Rapoport broke the news on Twitter, Ramsey essentially confirmed the trade with a tweet of his own. The six-time Pro Bowl selection tweeted a video of rapper Lil Yachty walking out to a packed, hyped-up crowd coupled with the caption “MOOD.”
Ramsey was first floated as a potential offseason trade candidate back in January, less than a month after the Rams wrapped up their disappointing 2022 season. Los Angeles was slated to enter the new league year with an unfavorable salary cap situation and a Ramsey trade was viewed as a measure to alleviate some of those financial woes.
Due to Ramsey’s adjusted contract, the Dolphins are set to take on the remaining two years and fully guaranteed $36 million remaining on his current contract. It will be a homecoming of sorts for the 28-year-old, who played collegiately at Florida State and spent the first three-plus seasons of his NFL tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Dolphins-Rams trade is expected to be finalized Wednesday.
