Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey may suit up for a new team in 2023. The All-Pro star is 'very likely' to be dealt this off-season as the Rams look to rebuild and clear cap space.

Amid the trade rumors, the cornerback tweeted a quote from NBA legend Allen Iverson, who made it after suffering a loss and being looked at as an enemy.

Here is Iverson's speech that Ramsey posted in a video, with the word, "MOOD":

"When I lose, this is what I gotta go through? When I lose? I can't win em all. I'm human. I'm just like ya'll man. I'm just like you. I'm just like you. You might be a little bit better than me, in your eyes or the people that love you and their eyes, you might be a little better than me. But you human! You just like me. Right? You just like me. You ain't no different. You just like me. You bleed just like I bleed. You cry just like how I cry, you hurt just like I hurt, I ain't no different."

Jalen Ramsey is suggesting that he's getting criticized amid the trade rumors and that he's no different from anyone else.

He's spent the last three-and-a-half seasons in LA after he was traded from the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 28-year-old will likely be out of LA as he is seeking a new contract.

Proposed trade for Jalen Ramsey

Jalen Ramsey has been one of the best defensive backs in the NFL since entering the league in 2016. He wouldn't come cheap if a team were to try to acquire him.

He has made six straight Pro Bowls since the 2017 season, and is a three-time All-Pro cornerback.

Ramsey is seeking more money on a new contract, and although he is still at the top of his game, his value may not be as high as some expected. This is due to the team having to give up picks and also extend the ageing cornerback.

The Rams star currently has three years and $55 million left on his contract, which only includes $12.5 million guaranteed. His present team would save about $5.6 million upon trading him.

Multiple teams will be interested in Jalen Ramsey and it could heat up with the Rams getting a first-round pick and more out of it.

The Jacksonville Jaguars could potentially offer a second-round pick and a third-round pick in this year's draft for the star corner.

The Detroit Lions could offer pick No. 18 and their fourth-round pick in this year's draft for the player and a third-round pick.

Ramsey is expected to be dealt with sooner rather than later as he has a strong market.
