Dolphins Weigh Ramsey Trade After Missing Playoffs

The Miami Dolphins are actively seeking to trade star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, with interest from teams including the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Rams, but negotiations are slowed by the size of Ramsey's contract and Miami's unwillingness to absorb guaranteed money. A trade is not expected to be finalized until after June 1 due to salary cap considerations, and the Dolphins are unlikely to receive more than a fourth-round pick in return. Miami may target Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. as a replacement, though his recent injury history could be a concern. The Dolphins are also emphasizing youth on the defensive line, having drafted several young tackles and allowing veteran John Jenkins to sign with the Ravens. If the Ravens acquire Ramsey and pay most of his $25 million salary, their secondary could become one of the NFL's strongest. These moves reflect Miami's efforts to restructure its roster after missing the playoffs last season.
