I think this will be my only original post on Jalen Ramsey (may respond to someone's comment).
Still think he is a top-corner when used properly but didn't like the way he was sometimes utilized
I consider Cornerback to be a weak position because, after Ramsey, there isn't anyone I think has proven to be good. Durant maybe ... but there are size and tackling limitations. Can only assume the coaches were unhappy with Robert Rochell. Why he did not play over pending free agent David Long late in the season was both disappointing and telling.
Regarding Ramsey's future with the Rams, I have not read anything about a short-term-extension that would provide cap-relief in 2023. That's also telling for me. The cap savings for trading or releasing Ramsey prior to June 1 are relatively small, with large Dead-$. A short-term extension would provide greater 2023 cap-relief. If the Rams believe Ramsey still has 2-3 top-tier-CB years remaining, that would seem to be the way-to-go.
Maybe it has been discussed, or is being discussed. However, most reports seem to be about a potential trade. There have been a few about a potential release. But nothing (that I have heard or read) about a potential short-term extension.
