The Pittsburgh Steelers are trading for Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Steelers are giving Ramsey a $1.5 million raise in 2025, which will take his compensation up to $26.6 million.
The Steelers had been named as a team to watch for Ramsey earlier in the month, but it was speculated that Pittsburgh was unlikely to be the destination. Instead, the Steelers pull off the trade and land a former All-Pro to put in their secondary opposite Joey Porter Jr and Darius Slay.

Ramsey is a three-time First-Team All-Pro and a seven-time Pro Bowl selection. He has 24 career interceptions and helped the Los Angeles Rams defeat the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI back in the 2021 season. He will now likely find himself as the nickel cornerback for the Steelers in what is now a star-studded secondary.
