Should Eagles trade for Jalen Ramsey? Insider drops 2-word take on potential interest image

The Philadelphia Eagles were once reportedly interested in acquiring superstar cornerback Jalen Ramsey, but that was back in 2019, when Ramsey ended up getting traded from the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Los Angeles Rams for a package of draft picks that included two first-rounders.

Now entering his age-31 season, Ramsey is expected to be moved once again, as his camp is currently working with the Miami Dolphins to explore trade options, per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

Eagles insider Anthony DiBona dropped a two-word response to fans on the Ramsey news and any potential speculation about Philly kicking the tires on the seven-time Pro Bowler: “Absolutely not.”

Philadelphia moved on from veteran corner Darius Slay Jr. this offseason in a cost-cutting move, placing the odds of them swapping draft capital for an overpriced veteran like Ramsey at slim to none.

Ramsey is owed over $25 million in cash in 2025 and carries future cap hits of $25 million in 2026, $26.8 million in 2027 and $36.1 million in 2028. Given how Philly has approached the new league year, carefully clearing financial space in future years for the likes of Jalen Carter, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, the money alone makes zero sense for the Eagles, as it flies in the face of their entire approach to the 2025 offseason so far.

Even if Miami was willing to eat some of Ramsey’s remaining salary, the veteran is no longer on GM Howie Roseman’s radar.
