Former All-Pro Asante Samuel Sr. Criticizes Miami Dolphins Leadership After Jalen Ramsey Trade

The Miami Dolphins recently traded star cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a move reportedly driven by concerns over Ramsey's 'disruptive' behavior and its negative impact on team culture, including tardiness and undermining coaching staff. This decision has sparked significant backlash, notably from former NFL player Asante Samuel Sr., who harshly criticized the Dolphins' leadership, calling head coach Mike McDaniel a 'pushover' and general manager Chris Grier as having 'no backbone,' accusing the organization of being terrified of players and running like a 'little league team.' Samuel Sr.'s strong condemnation has also seemingly influenced the Dolphins' prospects of signing his son, free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., despite his status as a productive player recovering from neck surgery. The trade and ensuing criticisms highlight internal dysfunction within the Dolphins' front office and raise questions about the team's future defensive strategy amid recent roster changes. Additionally, other former Dolphins players have voiced discontent on social media, suggesting broader dissatisfaction with the team's management beyond Samuel Sr.'s remarks.
