Miami Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier confirmed during a pre-draft press conference that the team is seeking to trade defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Despite Ramsey not initiating the trade request or seeking a contract adjustment, both parties mutually agreed that a trade would be beneficial. Grier mentioned that extensive discussions took place between the Dolphins and Ramsey’s representation over the course of a few weeks before reaching this decision.
Ramsey, who joined the Dolphins from the Rams in 2023, played a significant role in the 2024 season, featuring in all 17 games and delivering notable defensive stats. While Grier did not specify the exact timing of Ramsey's potential trade, he emphasized the team's readiness to adapt to the situation, acknowledging Ramsey's impact and recognizing the move as a strategic decision to enhance the team's future prospects. Ramsey, a seasoned player with an impressive career record, has earned multiple Pro Bowl selections and All-Pro honors during his tenure in the league.
