Deadspin | Report: Dolphins make Jalen Ramsey NFL's highest-paid CB

The Miami Dolphins and All-Pro Jalen Ramsey agreed to a three-year, $72.3 million extension making him the NFL's highest-paid cornerback, NFL Network reported Friday.

The $24.1 million average annual value of the deal would push Ramsey just ahead of the Denver Broncos' Patrick Surtain II at $24.0 million per season.

Ramsey, who turns 30 next month, had two years and $45.6 million remaining on his previous contract. The latest extension guarantees him an additional $55.3 million, according to Spotrac.

A seven-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time first-team All-Pro, Ramsey opens his ninth NFL season -- second with Miami -- on Sunday against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ramsey recorded three interceptions and 22 tackles in 10 starts for the Dolphins in 2023. He missed the first seven games coming off meniscus surgery in the offseason.

Ramsey has 22 interceptions, 97 passes defensed, six forced fumbles and 474 tackles in 118 games (117 starts) with the Jaguars (2016-19), Los Angeles Rams (2019-22) and Dolphins.
