Pro Bowl cornerback sent to Pittsburgh
The Las Vegas Raiders won’t be adding Jalen Ramsey.
The team had been rumored to have interest in the Pro Bowl cornerback, but Monday morning, in a blockbuster trade, Ramsey was sent from the Miami Dolphins to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Ramsey is a Pete Carroll-type cornerback as he stands at 6-1 and weighs 209. He also has 33,3/8 inch arms, so he has the size Carroll covets. But now the Raiders will have to look elsewhere if they want to add a cornerback before training cap starts next month.
They had a visit with Shaquill Griffin this month. He signed with the Seattle Seahawks (he played for new Raiders coach in Seattle to start his career). It is not known if the Raiders had no interest in Griffin after his visit. They were also linked to Jaire Alexander when he was released by the Green Bay Packers this month, but he quickly signed with the Baltimore Ravens.
There are still some solid options available for the Raiders in free agency if they want to add a cornerback. They include Rasul Douglas, Mike Hilton, Asante Samuel Jr. (who has dealing with a neck injury that has affected his timeline in signing somewhere), Stephon Gilmore, and Kendall Fuller among others.
Las Vegas has signed Erick Stokes in free agency and drafted Darien Porter n the third round. They are the current favorites to start on the outside during the regular season. They also have Darnay Holmes, Jakorian Bennett, Decamerion Richardson, Sam Webb and Ky Blu Kelly.
