Steelers might use a bold escape plan if Jalen Ramsey trade goes off the rails

The Pittsburgh Steelers are putting all their cards on the table, and it’s clear Omar Khan and his front office aren’t playing it safe in 2025.

After an aggressive offseason marked by blockbuster trades and bold roster cuts, the Steelers made yet another headline-grabbing move by trading for three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

And they didn’t stop there—Pittsburgh welcomed Ramsey with a massive 4-year, $84 million contract extension, including $19.5 million guaranteed in the first year.

It’s a statement deal, no question. It shows the Steelers believe Ramsey can be a cornerstone of their defense, even as he enters the back half of his career.
