The Steelers landed Ramsey and Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith in the blockbuster trade on June 30 with the Miami Dolphins. The deal will go down as one of the biggest in team history, with All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick going the other direction. The Steelers also acquired a 2027 seventh-round draft pick and the Dolphins got a 2027 fifth-round draft pick in the trade.
The Steelers are also giving Ramsey a raise in 2025, increasing his salary to $26.6 million, and giving Smith a one-year contract extension worth $12 million. Ramsey is under contract through 2028. The extension will keep Smith in Pittsburgh through the end of the 2026 season.
Ramsey, 30, has been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL over the last decade. He is a three-time first-team All-Pro in 2017, 2020 and 2021, and a seven-time Pro Bowler from 2017-23. He won Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams after the 2021 season.
Initially drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Florida State, Ramsey has now been traded three times, first to the Rams in 2019, then to the Dolphins in 2023 and now to the Steelers.
Ramsey was traded to the Dolphins in 2023, and signed a three-year contact extension with the team in September 2024, but this spring both Ramsey and the team mutually agreed to part ways. The Dolphins needed to wait until after June 1 to make a trade.
