Look: Jalen Ramsey was in LA working out with Eric Weddle's son at USC
Look: Jalen Ramsey was in LA working out with Eric Weddle's son at USC Jalen Ramsey and Eric Weddle won a Super Bowl together with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021, going on an unforgettable playoff run after the former All-Pro safety came out of retirement for the final stretch. Weddle has since retired again but Ramsey remains one of the best defensive backs in football, and he's looking for a new team. Ramsey has been back in Los Angeles recently and on Thursday, he reunited with his fellow Super Bowl champion. Ramsey linked up with Weddle for a workout with his son, Gaige, who's in high school and getting recruited to some big college programs. They hit the practice field on USC's campus, taking this photo together after their session. Ramsey shared Gaige's post and wrote, 'Can't wait to see you keep ballin!' Ramsey is still a member of the Miami Dolphins but he skipped mandatory minicamp while the team attempts to trade the All-Pro cornerback. He still considers Los Angeles home and spends time on the West Coast, which has fueled rumors about the possibility of the Rams bringing him back. While he awaits his fate on the trade market, Ramsey will continue putting in work in Los Angeles – and maybe he'll get to stay there long-term again.

Rams coach Sean McVay ‘open-minded' to reunion with Dolphins corner Jalen Ramsey
Just go ahead and get the deal done already. Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay called the team 'open-minded' when it comes to bringing back Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, only further fanning the flames of a reunion. 'Usually, those are scenarios and situations that you have to have plans in place prior to executing some of the decisions that have occurred,' McVay said Tuesday. 'Definitely don't want to rule anything out because we're always open-minded to onboarding and acquiring quality players and people like him if we're able to do that, but there would be some obstacles that are real that are in the place of maybe preventing that from occurring.' Speculation about Ramsey's return to Los Angeles have swirled since he and the Miami Dolphins mutually agreed to deal the seven-time Pro Bowler in mid-April. Even Rams general manager Les Snead confirmed that he and the Dolphins front office had a conversation about Ramsey. 'I've had discussions with Miami,' Snead said April 22, later adding that 'there are a lot of nuances to that situation based on all the things that come with a trade, contracts and things like that. I'm not sure where they're at in the process.' The All-Pro corner, for one, has not been shy about his love for Los Angeles. Ramsey, of course, spent 2019 to 2022 with the Rams, even helping to bring Los Angeles a Super Bowl during the 2021 season before the team dealt him to Miami in 2023. 'L.A. is like a second home for me,' Ramsey said prior to his 2024 return to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, later adding that 'the community always treated me and my family with nothing but love and respect.' A potential reconciliation between the Dolphins and Ramsey was always a long shot yet effectively fell apart when the nine-year veteran skipped last week's mandatory minicamp. 'He is not here,' Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said June 10, calling Ramsey's absence 'excused.' 'We are focused on building the Dolphins today, and anything outside of that, any sort of distractions I'm not focused on.' The biggest obstacle to the blockbuster deal, however, is Ramsey's price tag as he will make approximately $25.1 million in 2025. Los Angeles, however, waived fellow corner Derion Kendrick on Friday, a move that saved them about $3.4 million. The Rams did re-sign Kendrick Tuesday yet the extra cap space would certainly be necessary if a deal for Ramsey manifested. 'We've had conversations through the weekend with some teams about it as well,' Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said in late April following the 2025 NFL Draft, 'so depending on what happens and if and when it'll happen — whatever it is — we'll make the deal at the appropriate time.' Despite the Dolphins' willingness to move on from Ramsey, the 30-year-old still remains one of the best corners in football. During his 27 game stint in Miami, Ramsey had five picks, 16 pass deflections and 82 combined tackles. Quarterbacks only completed roughly 59-percent of their passes with a rating of about 71.8 when throwing in his direction over the last two years. The Rams, meanwhile, could desperately use an injection of talent in their secondary as the team finished the 2024 season ranked 20th against the pass.

Steelers trade target Jalen Ramsey may have just followed Pittsburgh players on IG
Steelers trade target Jalen Ramsey may have just followed Pittsburgh players on IG The Jalen Ramsey-to-Pittsburgh rumors are red hot after his supposed following of several big-name Steelers players on social media. The speculation storm took off on Thursday, as several fans and social media pages brought Ramsey's recent following list to light — with the four-time All-Pro cornerback seemingly having just followed Cam Heyward on Instagram. Steelers fans should take the claims with a grain of salt, as it's difficult to pinpoint whether or not Ramsey had already followed him before the trade rumors began — and even if he did just follow him, it's hardly an official confirmation of his arrival in Pittsburgh. Back in April, insider Ian Rapoport confirmed the Dolphins and Ramsey mutually agreed to seek a trade, with the Rams and Steelers serving as the two most likely landing spots — HC Sean McVay stated that 'obstacles' were preventing Los Angeles from making a move. From Ramsey's UCLA training post to his supposed following of Steelers players, the intriguing developments in this potential trade scenario have kept the buzz alive this offseason.

Jalen Ramsey spotted at UCLA — fueling Steelers trade rumors due to DK Metcalf connection
Jalen Ramsey spotted at UCLA — fueling Steelers trade rumors due to DK Metcalf connection Jalen Ramsey has been working out at the same place as Steelers WR DK Metcalf #noticing — Polymarket Football (@PolymarketBlitz) June 19, 2025 Jalen Ramsey's UCLA training pic has gone viral after weeks of Steelers trade rumors and speculation. UCLA Football posted several pictures of Ramsey's training session, which sent social media pages into a frenzy. Polymarket Football quickly speculated that the workout could be connected to DK Metcalf, as the Steelers wide receiver had his famous throwing session with Aaron Rodgers there. Back in April, insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Dolphins and Ramsey had mutually agreed to seek trade options. Over the past several weeks, Ramsey has been connected to both the Rams and Steelers as potential landing spots for the three-time All-Pro corner — while HC Sean McVay claimed "obstacles" may prevent Los Angeles from acquiring him. Steelers fans should take the now-viral UCLA workout speculation with a grain of salt, as Ramsey's choice of training facility being similar to that of Rodgers and Metcalf is likely coincidence — but it definitely adds more fuel to the rumored Pittsburgh trade narrative this offseason.
