There’s always a chance a trade never happens, and while the Dolphins’ honesty about their interest in moving Ramsey suggests it might be inevitable, such deals are never guaranteed. If Miami finds the interest in Ramsey (and the compensation offered) is subpar, it might choose to mend fences and keep him for 2025. It’s the last year of guaranteed money on his current deal, and the Dolphins could choose to wait for the financial relief that would come with a release next offseason instead of forcing a trade now and accepting minimal return. Plus, don’t forget how important this season is to the future of the Chris Grier/Mike McDaniel regime in Miami. With pressure mounting, it might end up making more sense to keep Ramsey instead of accepting peanuts just to move on from him.
