Overview

• ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques reports the decision was characterized as a team-driven move to improve accountability inside the Dolphins’ building.
• Multiple sources cited Ramsey being late to team activities and leaving practices, saying his behavior became a drain on morale.
• Miami structured the trade post–June 1 and accepted over $35 million in dead money across 2025–2026 to complete the cultural reset.
• The deal sent Ramsey to Pittsburgh and brought Minkah Fitzpatrick, Jonnu Smith, and a 2027 seventh-round pick to Miami.
• Despite the concerns, Ramsey started every game in 2024 with 60 tackles, two interceptions, and 11 pass breakups, as the Dolphins note tardiness has eased this year and outside scrutiny now follows his move to the Steelers.
