Jalen Ramsey Posts '5…' as Dolphins Finalize Post–June 1 Trade Plans

Delaying a deal until after June 1 will trim Miami’s cap hit on Ramsey from $25 million to roughly $7 million.

Overview

  • Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that the team and Ramsey have mutually agreed to explore trade options following discussions over the offseason.
  • Ramsey’s cryptic “5…” post on X is widely viewed as a countdown to the June 1 cutoff that enables cheaper roster accounting for a potential deal.
  • By waiting until after June 1, Miami can cap only about $6.7 million of Ramsey’s charge in 2025 and defer roughly $17.6 million into the 2026 salary cap.
  • The Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills are considered frontrunners to acquire the veteran cornerback from a division rival or reunite him with an NFC contender.
  • Despite turning 30, Ramsey has maintained elite play in Miami, recording five interceptions, 16 passes defended, one sack and 82 tackles over the past two seasons.
