NFL Trade: Chiefs urged to make bold move for 7x Pro Bowler Jalen Ramsey after Super Bowl setback
Chiefs urged to trade for Jalen Ramsey to boost defense (Image via: Getty Images) The Kansas City Chiefs are entering the 2025 NFL season without the usual championship banner to raise. After falling to the Philadelphia Eagles in February's Super Bowl, the team faces tough questions about roster depth. Now, one analyst believes a bold trade for Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey could reignite Kansas City's Super Bowl push. Kansas City Chiefs advised to target Jalen Ramsey in offseason trade Despite having Patrick Mahomes under center, the Chiefs were outclassed by the Eagles' star-studded roster in Super Bowl LVIII. With most of their cap tied up in Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones, adding high-end talent is tricky. Still, the team might have enough financial wiggle room to make one more splash and a blockbuster trade could be the answer. During a recent livestream, Bleacher Report's Mitch Milani made his case: Kansas City should trade for seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey. '(Ramsey) can do everything well,' Milani said. 'He can be interchangeable with Trent McDuffie, and he could almost play safety. So just think about the scheme advantage that Jalen Ramsey would provide for the Kansas City Chiefs.' Should Dolphins KEEP Jalen Ramsey⁉️ + What team has BEST chance to WIN 1st Super Bowl? 🏆| NFL Live Milani noted how Ramsey's ability to lock down elite receivers in man coverage could mirror the defensive strategy that helped Kansas City beat the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Direct Shopping From Adidas Franchise Store, Up To 50% Off Original Adidas Shop Now Undo Why Jalen Ramsey is the perfect fit for Chiefs' Super Bowl game plan Jalen Ramsey isn't just a name, he's a proven game-changer. A three-time first-team All-Pro, Ramsey is entering his age-31 season and the final year of a $72 million contract. With trade rumors swirling and the Dolphins potentially looking to clear cap space, the time for a move is now. For the Chiefs, this is about more than filling a gap, it's about seizing a short Super Bowl window. Ramsey's ability to shadow No. 1 receivers, contribute in multiple coverages, and even slide into a safety role makes him a dream fit in Steve Spagnuolo's defense. Also Read: Deion Sanders' health concerns draw support from Pacman Jones and Travis Hunter: 'God is so good' If Kansas City wants to reclaim the Lombardi Trophy, they'll need more than Mahomes magic, they'll need a dominant defense. Ramsey could be the piece that makes it happen. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
