Pelissero added that league sources believe it's "very likely" Ramsey, 28, is traded in the coming weeks.
While Wagner had just finished the first year of a five-year, $50 million contract, Ramsey is in the middle of a five-year, $100 million contract. The No. 5 overall pick in 2016 is set to make $17 million in 2023 and isn't scheduled to hit free agency until 2026.
Los Angeles looks to be finding ways to clear cap space ahead of the new league year, and though Ramsey is a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time First Team All-Pro who helped the Rams win Super Bowl LVI in 2022, he could be the next star defender after Wagner to depart.
