Overview

  • Jalen Ramsey is not expected to attend the three-day mandatory minicamp beginning June 10 and could face fines up to $52,381 for missing all sessions
  • Ramsey and the Dolphins agreed in April to explore a trade, but no viable offers have emerged through the NFL draft or voluntary workouts
  • By delaying any move until after June 1, Miami stands to save $9.9 million in salary-cap charges compared with an earlier transaction
  • Ramsey’s $24.2 million in guaranteed salary and four years remaining on his contract have limited trade interest around the league
  • The Dolphins plan to sign a veteran free-agent cornerback before training camp opens in late July to shore up their secondary depth
