Overview

  • Jalen Ramsey remains on the Miami Dolphins roster after no trade materialized during the 2025 NFL Draft, weakening Miami's leverage.
  • The Dolphins plan to wait until after June 1 to trade Ramsey, which would reduce his cap hit by nearly $18.5 million and clear $10 million in cap space.
  • Teams like the Baltimore Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals, and Las Vegas Raiders are evaluating potential trades but face challenges with Ramsey's $25.1 million guaranteed salary for 2025.
  • A potential reunion with the Los Angeles Rams is under discussion, though financial hurdles and Miami's unwillingness to cover most of Ramsey's salary complicate negotiations.
  • Observers suggest a position switch to safety could extend Ramsey's career and make him a more attractive trade option, while Miami explores cost-effective replacements like Asante Samuel Jr.
