The Miami Dolphins and seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey have mutually agreed to explore trade options, as reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Ramsey, a prominent defensive figure in the NFL over the past decade, was acquired by the Dolphins in a 2023 trade with the Los Angeles Rams. Despite missing the Pro Bowl in 2024 for the first time since his rookie year, Ramsey showcased versatility under defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, excelling as a blitzer but struggling with a career-high completion rate against him.
While Ramsey's performance dipped slightly in the previous season, he remained a key contributor to Miami's defense and a veteran leader on the team. Potential trade implications would thrust Storm Duck, Kader Kohou, Cam Smith, Artie Burns, and Ethan Bonner into prominent cornerback roles. The Dolphins have already paid Ramsey a $4 million roster bonus this offseason, meaning any acquiring team would inherit the majority of his fully guaranteed $25.1 million salary, totaling $21.1 million.
