Jalen Ramsey Becomes Highest-Paid Cornerback Again

Jalen Ramsey has signed a record-setting three-year contract extension with the Miami Dolphins worth $72.3 million, making him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history for the second time. The deal, which averages $24.1 million per year, comes shortly after Patrick Surtain II set a new benchmark with his own extension. Despite a hamstring injury that has limited his practice participation, Ramsey's guaranteed earnings now total $55.3 million, solidifying his position as the cornerback with the highest career earnings in league history. The Dolphins aim to manage his workload as they prepare for their Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ramsey recorded three interceptions and five pass breakups during his first season with Miami, showcasing his continued high-level performance. This new contract is part of the Dolphins' broader strategy to reward key players, including Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill.
