In exchange for Ramsey, the Dolphins received five-time Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tight end Jonnu Smith was also shipped to the Steelers in the deal, per Schefter. In addition to the players involved, the Steelers will also receive a 2027 seventh-round pick. The Dolphins are getting a 2027 fifth-round pick in return.
The Steelers confirmed the details of the trade Monday, noting that it was pending player physicals.
The move shores up an already strong Steelers defense, and gives them another talented veteran player in what is expected to be Aaron Rodgers' final season in the NFL. With Rodgers in tow for one year, the team needs to do everything in its power to contend in 2025. Ramsey should help them accomplish that.
Ramsey signed a three-year, $72 million extension in 2024 and was due to earn $24.2 million this season, per Over The Cap. With the trade, Ramsey will receive a $1.5 million raise, bringing his salary to $26.6 in 2025. The Steelers will reportedly take on all but $7 million of that deal this year.
Ramsey's contract became less of a hindrance to trade after June 1, as his $25.213 million cap charge dropped by $18.468 million.
He's under team control with the Steelers through 2028.
