Philadelphia, PA – May 15, 2025 – The Philadelphia Eagles, soaring after their Super Bowl LIX triumph, have ignited the NFL with a blockbuster trade. A seven-time Pro Bowler joins their secondary, crafting the league’s most formidable cornerback trio to defend their crown.
Jalen Ramsey, Miami’s elite cornerback, headlines a seismic deal. The Eagles outmaneuvered rivals, leveraging their $24.8 million cap space to secure a veteran who transforms their defense into a juggernaut.
Eagles Receive: Ramsey, a three-time All-Pro, with his $16.6 million 2025 cap hit slashed to $5.6 million as the Dolphins absorb two-thirds ($11 million). His 62% completion rate and 83.2 passer rating when targeted in 2024 dwarf Kelee Ringo’s 311 snaps, fortifying the secondary.
Dolphins Receive: Miami secures the Eagles’ 2026 second-round and sixth-round picks, bolstering their draft capital for a rebuild. Covering $11 million of Ramsey’s salary ensures the trade’s feasibility, aligning with GM Chris Grier’s youth-focused strategy.
“Ramsey’s our edge,” coach Nick Sirianni roared. Lane Johnson echoed, “He’s a Philly warrior.” With Quinyon Mitchell’s 5 interceptions and Cooper DeJean’s 4 picks, this trio could lock down any passing game.
The trade addresses the exodus of Darius Slay, Isaiah Rodgers, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Jihaad Campbell’s 117 tackles bolster the front, while Jake Elliott’s kicks add points. The secondary, ranked sixth in pass defense, now aims for supremacy.
This coup, fueled by Saquon Barkley’s 2,005 yards and Jalen Hurts’ grit, cements the Philly Special Era’s dynasty. Ramsey’s veteran savvy could propel the Eagles to another Lombardi Trophy in 2025.
