Dolphins, Jalen Ramsey Agree to Record Three-Year, $72.3 Million Extension

Jalen Ramsey, Pro Bowl Cornerback Signs Extention With Dolphins

Extension Keeps Ramsey With Miami Through 2025

The Miami Dolphins and cornerback Jalen Ramsey have agreed to a record-breaking three-year, $72.3 million contract extension, the team announced Tuesday. The extension keeps Ramsey in Miami through the 2025 season and makes him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL on an average annual salary.

Ramsey, 28, was acquired by the Dolphins in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. He has been a key part of Miami’s defense, starting all 32 games in which he has played for the team. In 2022, Ramsey recorded four interceptions and 12 pass breakups.

The Dolphins are hoping that Ramsey can continue to be a key part of their defense for years to come. The team has high hopes for the 2023 season, and Ramsey’s presence will be a big part of that.

Contract Breakdown

The $72.3 million extension is the largest contract ever given to a cornerback in the NFL. The deal includes $40 million in guaranteed money, which is also a record for a cornerback.

Ramsey’s average annual salary of $24.1 million is also the highest ever for a cornerback. The previous record was held by Tre’Davious White of the Buffalo Bills, who signed a four-year, $70 million extension in 2021.

Ramsey’s Impact on the Dolphins

Ramsey has been a major impact player for the Dolphins since he arrived in Miami. He is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, and his presence has helped to improve the Dolphins’ defense.

In 2022, the Dolphins’ defense allowed the fewest passing yards per game in the NFL. Ramsey was a big part of that success, as he was able to shut down some of the best wide receivers in the league.

The Dolphins are hoping that Ramsey can continue to be a key part of their defense for years to come. He is a young player who is still in his prime, and he has the potential to be one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL for many years to come.
