Not likely to happen but Ramsey would be much more than just a safety. He’d be a defensive field general, a heat-seeking missle bringing the wood and an emotional spark plug for the entire defense. Every defense needs a couple guys like that to lead the charge.
Ramsey traded to Miami for ‘23 3rd rd pick(#77 overall) and TE Hunter Long

Correct. My proposal was in regards to retaining his unique services 3-5 years from now.
If he plays next yr in LA it's a $26M cap hit is it not?
Thus, you are saying this is his last yr here in your scenario. If that's the case why not just move him now for higher value and more savings over the next 2 yrs? Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Also, as of right now...this very moment, the Rams are projected to be over the 24' projected cap by $3M. That's for only the 36 players currently under contract in 24'.
So that defecit will balloon after they sign more guys to reach the 53 limit that will be under contract next yr. Now that INCLUDES Ramsey's 24' cap charge of $26M.
So if he is here next yr that is his cap number. So not sure why you are not taking that into consideration unless you are proposing that they keep him this yr and dump him next yr, which seems like a waste.
So if they move him now, they save 5.6M this yr and $26M next yr. And that's vs him staying here long-term past next yr.
If you want to compare the above scenario to keeping him only one more yr, we'll then the savings are less, but it seems to defeat the idea that some have of keeping him long-term.
The Adams trade is the poster child for NOT trading much of anything for a defensive back. More realistic, or maybe still wishful thinking, is “the Rams might even get a first round pick” for Ramsay. And yes it’s a strong draft class for corners.
New York also here . and that's my point. Course NY was elated. Ramsey is way better at everything or just about everything and could probably play Adams position better than him to boot.
Sucker born every minute and the rams must find that sucker or hold onto Ramsey.

nothing personal but that animated clown makes me come to rod less.
I always thought you were a little twisted and bizarre. Now it makes sense.
Ditto he is not the answer. The reason most teams don't go anywhere or deep into the playoffs usually stems from not having a baller at QB Mayfield is not a baller. Everyone got so excited based on our shit season and he was great in that game the rest of the games he came back to earth.
Absolutely true words above!
If at all possible, get a ton in trade for him right now. Would you accept two 1st round picks and an above average O-lineman, and they take over Ramsey's owed money .. in trade? I sure would!!! You'd be crazy not to.
Agree Whit was totally crucial but imo Von Miller was also critical to the championship run. AD and Miller applied the pressure which kept us in games, got us the ball back in the second half, and put the games away when we (finally) got the lead at the end. And we have missed that level of pressure big time since he walked.

Mentioning Ronnie Lott had nothing to do with the teams he played on at the end of his career to me.
Simply he ended up at safety and I want JR to finish as a Ram.
I think it could work for him but he has a few years left at CB.
That guy was So Good ... for So Long. Came-out of the 1987 Draft. Lots of good players in that Draft.
The Rams got Donald Evans, Cliff Hicks and Doug Bartlett. I don't even remember Doug Bartlett!!!
I remember Bartlett... white guy, undersized DT they moved to LB... he couldn't play LB.
