Dolphins Nearing Deal to Trade Jalen Ramsey as Salary Hurdle Persists

Insiders say a deal could happen before NFL training camp now that June cap rules are in effect, with the Rams viewed as favorites if Miami agrees to absorb part of Ramsey’s guaranteed salary.

Overview

  • Miami has shopped Ramsey since April and delayed a move until after June 1 to maximize a roughly $9.9 million salary cap relief.
  • Miami has engaged multiple suitors but ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says no imminent deal has been finalized.
  • The Rams are considered the frontrunner due to their secondary needs and familiarity with Ramsey’s three-time All-Pro play.
  • Ramsey’s 2025 salary of over $20 million guaranteed stands as the main obstacle, potentially requiring Miami to cover a portion of his contract.
  • Ramsey has expressed a preference to return to a West Coast team, naming both the Rams and Chargers as preferred destinations.
