The Los Angeles Rams have traded five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Aqib Talib and a fifth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a future draft pick, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Schefter points out with Talib now out of the picture, the Rams can try and use some of the cap space that's been saved to try and re-sign recently acquired star corner Jalen Ramsey.
Talib, 33, is currently on injured reserve with a rib injury but may possibly return later in the season.

Jets reportedly open to trading RB Bell
Le’Veon Bell and the 1-6 New York Jets have struggled this season, and as a result, the running back's short stint with the team could reportedly be coming to an end today, per Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.
"The Daily News has learned that Gang Green is amenable to dealing the perennial Pro Bowl running back for the right price before the 4 p.m. trade deadline," Mehta wrote. "Although it’s unclear what that price tag has been during discussions, there are legitimate buyers. The Jets would unload a big salary as general manager Joe Douglas looks to reshape the roster."
Mehta names the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills as teams to keep eye on in regards to Bell.
The 27-year-old has recorded just 349 rushing yards and one touchdown this season. His 3.2 yards per carry is the worst average of any of his previous seven seasons in the NFL. After holding out for all of the 2018 season because the Pittsburgh Steelers would not give him the contract he wanted, the three-time Pro Bowler signed a four-year deal worth a reported $52.5 million with the Jets last March.
