- Sean McVay shares latest on Rams' interest in potential trade for Jalen Ramsey
The Los Angeles Rams surprisingly didn't select a single cornerback in the 2025 NFL Draft this weekend despite the position being viewed as one of their primary needs. It's still a spot they could address before the season starts and one possible avenue is via trade – specifically for Jalen Ramsey .
Ian Rapoport reported over the weekend that the Rams are one the teams interested in potentially acquiring Ramsey. That came after Les Snead said last week that he's had discussions with the Dolphins about a possible deal but isn't sure where Miami is at in the process.

With Ramsey still available and the Rams passing on cornerbacks in the draft, Los Angeles remains open to acquiring Ramsey. Here's what Sean McVay said about the team's interest after the draft.
"I think we're still getting through that process," McVay said. "A part of getting through the draft is also when it actually officially ends and then going through the undrafted free agent process. Like we talked about, there still are a lot of layers, contract, compensation and different things like that."
There's no doubt the Rams are open to a reunion and it's obvious McVay still has a ton of respect for Ramsey. He said he and the Dolphins corner have "really stayed in touch," which is an encouraging sign for any fan hoping the Rams make a move for the three-time All-Pro.
"There is a tremendous amount of appreciation that we have for Jalen, the time that we spent," McVay added. "He and I have really stayed in touch. I know it's the same thing with Aubrey [Pleasant] and some of our other coaches. There's a lot of familiarity, but we're probably in the same position when we talked about it the other day just because there are some things that we still need to take care of to be able to truly get through the draft from the totality of it all."

Reports suggest the Dolphins could wait until June to trade Ramsey because it'll save them $5.9 million in dead money this year, spreading out his cap hits over the next two seasons instead of putting it all on the 2025 books.
The Rams don't need to rush to get a deal done since camp doesn't start until July and he has familiarity with their system, so they can afford to be patient.
