Overview

  • Jalen Ramsey and the Miami Dolphins are mutually exploring trade opportunities, with discussions focused on a deal before the 2025 NFL Draft.
  • Miami aims to use potential trade assets to strengthen its defensive roster, particularly in the secondary, which has seen recent departures and roster changes.
  • Ramsey, a seven-time Pro Bowler, signed a record-setting three-year, $72.3 million extension upon joining the Dolphins but faced performance scrutiny during the 2024 season.
  • The cornerback overcame a significant knee injury in 2023 to make impactful plays, though his role within Miami’s evolving defensive strategy has been questioned.
  • If traded, Ramsey’s new team would assume $21.1 million of his guaranteed 2025 salary, following a $4 million bonus already paid by the Dolphins.
