Jalen Ramsey appears to be on his way out of town.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reported on Friday that the Rams have had trade talks involving CB Jalen Ramsey. Sources tell Pelissero that they believe it’s “very likely” Ramsey will be traded in the coming weeks.
Soon after the news, Ramsey took to Twitter and responded: “The “story” sounds better than the truth sometimes I’ll admit that… I live in the truth tho. God is so great! I am blessed & highly favored!”
The Rams are in cap hell and are looking to shed salary this offseason. Ramsey is owed $17 million in 2023 as part of a front-loaded deal that pays him an average $20 million. He signed a five-year, $105 million extension before the start of the 2020 season.
The signs were there that a trade might happen when the cornerback hinted that his time with the Rams might be up just last month.

The team is coming off a 5-12 season and desperately needed to create cap space. The 28-year-old Ramsey, who has played seven NFL seasons, amassed 88 tackles, 18 pass breakups and four interceptions last year.
He played and started in all 17 games to cap his sixth Pro Bowl campaign.
