Jalen Ramsey

You might want to take a look at Ramsey's contract before thinking about trading for him, Miami said they wouldn't eat any of his contract either FWIW. I would wait and see if Miami releases him because I don't see any team taking on that contract.

 

He is a post June trade which makes it a lot easier for both sides. Unless there is something I’m missing it looks like the acquiring team will take on about $10m for 2025 and will presumably view it as a one year rental or try to redo his deal if they want to keep him.

I was surprised the Dolphins gave him that deal last offseason at 30 years of age. Seems they have buyers regret now.

I Love these. Some young people will actually use stuff like this actually thinking it's real. LoL

 

LOL. Vasquez thinks Dulac is a respected insider. That's funny stuff.

 

I fear the teams biggest need right now is a WR, and if we trade for a CB, it will mean that Khan will not trade for a WR.

 

If Dulac said it isn't happening then it's safe to go order your Jalen Ramsey Steelers jersey.

 

WRONG. JACK HANDY

A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

 

no kneed know nee jerk

 

Dulac was the first one to report when Rodgers would actually sign with the Steelers.

 

I wouldn't worry about them trading for a CB.

 

I doubt the Steelers would be willing to pay him 10 million for 2025, they already gave Slay 10 million guaranteed for this season.

 

Normally I’d agree, but this is not a normal Steelers offseason. They have just signed a 41 year old first ballot HOF QB. It’s time to go all-in, otherwise what is the point?

They also look like they will have up to 11 picks going into the 2026 draft so draft capital is not an issue, neither is cap space.

I don’t know if they will trade for Ramsey but I fully expect them to make a few relatively significant moves before week 1.

 

Actual I did long before Dulac

I’m surprised you didn’t know this

Oh never mind I know why

 

The option bonus - it triggers at the end of August for $19M. It's prorated over five years ($3.8M per), but whichever team he's on when it triggers is responsible for the rest of it as well. So if he's cut after the season he could be declared a post-June 1st and the he accounts for $3.8M in 2026 and $11.4M in 2027.

It's possible the acquiring team would want to re-negotiate the contract as part of the trade agreement, too.

 

No, he was the first one to have his blind dart throw hit the target. He has gotten one thing wrong after another for years and never owns it when his false reports are proven wrong.

 

I think the price for WR are crazy stupid right now. Ain't no way I would give a second for olave. So I think that's why he's looking at CB because that is a big need. We have not only been trying to find a legit second, but our number 1 is just in the level above of being good. While WR we have an excellent WR (as long as this community knows how to handle his tantrums).
