Since reports first surfaced on Sunday, Aqib Talib seemed like the top candidate on the Los Angeles Rams to be dealt before Tuesday’s trade deadline, mainly to help clear up some salary cap space to potentially reward Jalen Ramsey with a new deal.
A few weeks ago, the Rams decided to heavily invest in their future by sending two future first-round picks to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Ramsey, but there was some concern over the possibility of losing the star cornerback after the 2020 season.
Not to mention, Ramsey hasn’t been shy over the years about his desire for a hefty new contract since he’s easily one of the league’s best cornerbacks.
