The Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins pulled off a blockbuster trade earlier this week with CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith heading to Pittsburgh in exchange for FS Minkah Fitzpatrick. According to NFL Media insider Tom Pelissero, the trade was weeks in the making.
“In the end then, how that ends with Jalen Ramsey going to the Steelers. There were on-and-off talks for weeks prior to this,” Pelissero said during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.
Pelissero said there were questions league-wide whether Ramsey would accept a trade to Pittsburgh since he’s never played in cold weather before, beginning his career in Jacksonville before playing for the Rams and the Dolphins.
