NFL News: Dolphins’ Jalen Ramsey becomes highest-paid cornerback but faces uncertain status

  • Sep, Fri, 2024


The 2024 NFL season is kicking off, and contract renewals have reached the Miami Dolphins, who have secured Jalen Ramsey. However, the cornerback’s availability for the debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars is uncertain.

Recently, the Dolphins hired coach Mike McDaniel, and now they’ve finalized Ramsey’s contract extension worth $72.3 million over three years, with an average of $24.1 million per year. This lucrative deal makes him the highest-paid cornerback in the league.

Despite this historic contract news, Ramsey is listed as questionable for Miami’s debut in the 2024 NFL season. The former Los Angeles Rams player was limited in Friday’s practice due to a hamstring issue.

According to the Dolphins’ coaching staff, Ramsey had not previously experienced pain in the area, so they are optimistic that he will be in top condition for the game.
