Rams expected to trade Ramsey in coming weeks...
Los Angeles Rams Reportedly Working On Blockbuster Trade (msn.com)
I know when this was initially reported a while back that the Vikings were supposedly one of the teams very much in play and I'm wondering if that's still the case. The Rams also released Bobby Wagner this week. I know their philosophy is "F them picks" and by McVay coming back, I'm assuming they are all in once again on trying to make a super bowl run. Not trying to play Madden, but if the Vikings want Ramsey and you read the tea leaves with both teams, I'm wondering if something like this would work for both teams:
Vikings trade:
RB Dalvin Cook
LB Eric Kendricks
Conditional 5th round pick in 2024
to Rams, for:
CB Jalen Ramsey
3rd round pick in 2023
I think that would be win/win for both teams. Thoughts?
I’d be ok with the trade, however teams know the Vikings are up against the salary cap, why trade with them for players who are going to be or might get released?
There are a lot of Trade Dalvin conversations across the www, but I don’t see anyone trading for a high priced RB.

I would take that trade for the Vikings in a heartbeat. I don't think the Rams would though.

Dalvin doesn’t have trade value. Kendrick’s might but we already have quite a few people talking about cutting him. So does he really have any trade value?
If Jalen Ramsey gets cut, where could you see him landing? pic.twitter.com/5sO82NpwDc

I disagree, Cook is still a top 5 back in the league and is only 27. Any team trading for him would still realistically be getting three to four years of elite level play at the position and the Rams have been lacking an impact RB since Gurley was injured. Kendricks would be plug and play for them, he's from southern California, there's just a lot of pieces between the Rams and Vikings that I think would work in a trade.And yes, we are against the cap, but everyone knows money can be moved around, front loaded, back loaded, however they wanted to play it to make the pieces work.
He’ll probably end up w/ the Lions…they actually have the draft capital for moves like this. :s
I'm asking: why would Minnesota do this? And better question, how could they do it? I think its a 0.0% chance.
The contracts make it almost impossible to figure out trade terms. Do I think the Rams would love to have Dalvin? Yes, they've been looking for a back since Gurley. Do I think we'd love to have Ramsey? Yes.
Problem is the Rams are trying to dump salary and replacing Ramsey's money with Dalvin's and Kendricks's actually increases their cap debt.
Vikings should just sign a free agent.
I think the only way you could do it is by all sides agreeing, moving money and restructuring contracts to make it work. I'm sure Dalvin saw his role in the offense diminish under KOC and would likely welcome a fresh start elsewhere and Kendricks would jump at the chance to go back to LA. The players would fit and the Rams seem to be in "win now" mode again with McVay, who has never had an elite level player at RB and now has a huge hole at MLB after Wagner was released. Both are plug and play immediate impact players. While on the other coin, the Vikings would get Ramsey, who fits what Flores wants to do defensively and hopefully a draft pick or two, which we sorely need having so few draft picks in this upcoming draft. The Rams value players not draft picks, while Kwesi values the picks. That's why I say it would be win/win for both teams if they could make it work and the Vikings are routinely brought up as a team highly interested in Ramsey. We'll see....it's going to be highly interesting to see how the front office reshuffles this deck between now and the draft.
Sure this will work, but only if they kick in Cooper Kupp, bwaaaaaaaaaaaa…! ;) :p

No need to stop there. Let's have them throw in Donald for Udoh and sweeten this deal...
RUMOR: The two teams interested in Jalen Ramsey trade with Rams (msn.com)
Lions and Raiders thought to be the two most "logical" teams to acquire Ramsey
Pretty sure the Vikings would need the cap space available before the trade and then afterwards can negotiate an extension. But supposing they wanted to do it and do some other extensions ...
Ramsey is due 17M, 18.5M, and 19.5M the next three years and supposedly wants a new deal.
Popular sentiment extensions (with percentage of popularity - my guess)
Kirk Cousins (50%) - 2 yr 80M extension
Justin Jefferson (99%) - 4 yr 130M extension
Danielle Hunter (40-50%) - 4 yr 88M
Dalvin Tomlinson (50%-60%) - 3 yr 36-42M
TJ Hockenson (99%) - 4 yr 56-58M
what will the cap numbers look like in 2024 for all these players plus Ramsey and O'Neill?
Player - 2024 Cap hit
Cousins - 37M
Jefferson - 26M
Hunter - 26M
Tomlinson - 16M
Hockenson - 14MO'Neill - 19.7M (without any restructure this year)
Ramsey - 19M (on a 4 yr 88M redo?)
That could be 157.7M for 7 players.
Assuming they want to extend the players above and those numbers are close then they will have the majority of the cap tied up in less than 10 players. I did not even mention the rumor they want to bring back Bradbury on a reasonable deal (8 to 10M).
I suppose if the defense was ONE player away and that player was a CB, then a trade might make some sense.
After saying all this, I still have not mentioned the draft picks it would cost to acquire him.
