He claimed that pairing Ramsey with Trevon Diggs would create one of the most fascinating CB duos in the league.

Ramsey was close to becoming a Cowboy as a rookie. They held the fourth pick in the 2016 NFL draft and had a hard time deciding between Ramsey and running back Ezekiel Elliot. They ended up taking Elliot despite wanting Ramsey. Now in 2023, they will have the chance to acquire him via trade as LA is making him available via trade.

At age 28, Ramsey is still one of the best corners in the NFL. He was named a Pro Bowler last season while recording a career-high 88 tackles and tying a career-high four interceptions. He set a career-high with three forced fumbles.

Jalen Ramsey could be traded for a second time in his career this offseason

While it's expected that Jalen Ramsey will be traded this offseason, it won't be the first time it will happen in his career. Ramsey was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016 but was traded to the Rams in 2019.

The Jaguars received a 2020 and 2021 first-round pick and a fourth-round pick in 2021 in exchange for Ramsey.

In his career, Ramsey has recorded 452 tackles, 19 interceptions, 92 pass deflections, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Jalen Ramsey will have a lot of teams interested in him and will likely join his third team this offseason
