Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey agrees to record three-year, $72.3 million extension

2024-09-07 13:05:02

Ramsey tallied three interceptions and five pass break-ups in 10 games played during his debut season for the Dolphins in 2023, good for a 52.9 passer rating allowed when opposing quarterbacks dared to throw his way, according to PFF. His presence helped lift Miami into a wild-card spot amid a tight AFC race last season.

The Dolphins, in need of a corner that effectively blankets one side of the field, acquired Ramsey via trade ahead of the 2023 season. Ramsey certainly did that, but the utilization of his talents might change in 2024.

Anthony Weaver intends to move Ramsey around the field more in his first year as Dolphins defensive coordinator, calling the seven-time Pro Bowler “the ultimate chess piece.” That would mean more play-making opportunities are in line for Ramsey, who’s produced 22 interceptions, 97 pass defenses and six forced fumbles in eight seasons played.

Before we see how that plan plays out, Ramsey must first work through a hamstring injury that has kept him off the practice field in the lead up to Week 1. Mike McDaniel said he expects Ramsey to return to practice at some capacity on Friday, but the head coach is unsure if he’ll suit up on Sunday.

Ramsey was officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.

The Dolphins can meanwhile take comfort in knowing the 29-year-old will remain with the club for the foreseeable future as Miami looks to break a playoff win drought with a contending roster this season.

The former first-round pick out of Florida State has been one of the league’s preeminent corners since being drafted in 2016, earning three All-Pro selections. According to NFL Research, only four CBs in the Super Bowl era have more All-Pro honors than Ramsey — Hall of Famers Deion Sanders (6), Rod Woodson (5), Darrelle Revis (4) and Willie Brown (4).

Ramsey seems destined to one day join them in Canton, and the Dolphins ensured he will play out the rest of his prime in South Beach by paying him accordingly.
