The Dallas Cowboys have made good moves this off-season, a statement that cannot be said for the team every year. Jerry Jones has strengthened the offense by adding George Pickens, but the defensive side of the ball, Dallas’s strong suit, has room for improvement. The team’s cornerback room in particular could use a veteran, and who better than Jalen Ramsey to fill this void?

As the Miami Dolphins gear up to part ways with seven-time Pro Bowler Jalen Ramsey on June 1st, an interesting acquisition by the defensive back has piqued curiosity amongst Cowboys fans. Ramsey purchased a house in Dallas-Fort Worth, as per Landon Holifield, the host of The Lando Show.

The insider confirmed that Jalen Ramsey had purchased a house in Dallas but could not verify if the corner intends to reside in it or treat it as an investment.

Here’s the thing, I know for a fact that Jalen Ramsey purchased a house in the FW (Fort-Worth). I can’t confirm it’s for him to live in, and I can’t confirm that the Cowboys are actually going to acquire him. I don’t know that…It’s two dots that could be connected…

The insider said.

This news should be taken with a grain of salt because so far, Cowboys insider Mike Fisher has said that the team has not been discussing bringing Ramsey aboard. While the corner would be a good addition to the Cowboys’ secondary, the purchase of a house, unfortunately, means nothing in the bigger picture. Optimism is good, and the hope amongst the team’s fanbase would be to have a Super Bowl-winning corner guide the young talent that Dallas has on its defense.

The Miami Dolphins are exploring trade options for Jalen Ramsey

Note that in the past, Derrick Henry also acquired a residence in Dallas, and this gave rise to rumors that he would be playing for the Cowboys. However, that never came to fruition. The running back recently sold the estate. So, there is a good chance that Ramsey made this purchase because it was a lucrative investment, and nothing more.

Realistically, Jerry Jones may not be as interested in bringing Ramsey on board. This is because the corner is over 30 years of age, and that is when DB’s performance begins to decline. Ramsey has played well, but there is no guarantee that he will be able to sustain the same for another three years at least. Note that last season, he had a completion percentage of 70.8 and a 93.5 passer rating when targeted.

Both are the highest in his career. His contract comes with a cap hit of $16.67 million for this season, and increases to $25 million in 2026 before reaching $36.17 million in 2028. Ramsey has shown no interest in demanding less money for his services, which is why the Dolphins have been compelled to part ways with him.

The financials do not make sense for the Cowboys. This is a team that is hoping to save up cap space and make adjustments to facilitate lucrative contracts for Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland, Jake Ferguson, and probably George Pickens. Signing Ramsey will play spoilsport in the team’s aspirations and finances. Dallas has two of the best corners in Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland.

When healthy, this duo can wreak havoc, and they are younger than Ramsey. In conclusion, does Ramsey’s acquisition of a property in Fort Worth mean anything from a football perspective? Not necessarily. For now, the Dolphins are attempting to find suitable trade partners to get the most in return for him by June 1st.
