The Miami Dolphins<\/a> and All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey<\/a> mutually agreed this offseason to seek a trade, but it was unknown what caused the sudden split between the two sides. With Ramsey still on the Dolphins roster nearing the end of the 2025 NFL Draft, a reportedly fractured relationship could still force a move.<\/p>\n

According to Armando Salguero of Outkick.com<\/a>, the big issue between Ramsey and the Dolphins centers on the relationship between him and head coach Mike McDaniel. Specifically, Ramsey and McDaniel \u2018not having a respectful relationship\u2019 which makes staying together untenable.<\/p>\n

A separation is expected this offseason and several teams have inquired with Miami about a deal. Salguero reports that the Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders and Atlanta Falcons have all shown interest in Ramsey.<\/p>\n

No deal is imminent and a move is complicated by Ramsey\u2019s contract. The 30-year-old cornerback carries just a $16.661 million cap hit this upcoming season, but cutting him before June 1 would leave Miami with a $29.213 million dead cap hit in 2025.<\/p>\n

If the Dolphins wait, that cap hit is reduced to $10.745 million this season with an $18.468 million dead cap in 2025. It would also create $5.916 million in cap space for the team to use this summer, but teams have reportedly asked Miami to cover a portion of the deal.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins did use the 150th overall pick on Florida Gators cornerback Jason Marshall Jr, but a majority of their early-round picks were devoted to the trenches. Given the reported state of the situation, a trade seems unavoidable, with a deal likely to come this summer.<\/p>\n
