With Ramsey no longer on the roster, we’ll be making our updated 2025 Dolphins season predictions.</p><p>While the news still shook up the league, it was not a surprise, as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dolphins-news-gm-breaks-silence-jalen-ramsey-trade-decision">Dolphins confirmed their intentions to trade Ramsey</a> before the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager Chris Grier initially had trouble finding suitors willing to match his high asking price, but he appeared to lower his expectations enough to find Ramsey a new home.</p><p>Miami also sent tight end Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh while receiving safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. The 28-year-old safety ironically returns to the team nearly six years after the Dolphins traded him to the Steelers. The teams also swapped 2027 draft picks, with Miami receiving Pittsburgh’s fifth-rounder in exchange for its seventh-round selection.</p><p>The trade certainly shakes up both teams’ rosters, while creating as many questions as it did answers. While Fitzpatrick fills the void left behind by Jevon Holland, Ramsey’s departure creates a massive vacancy at cornerback. Miami opted not to re-sign Kendall Fuller in free agency, giving defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver two starting spots to fill.</p><p>Grier managed to resolve the Ramsey situation, but still has several other internal issues to address. Star receiver <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dolphins-news-gm-addresses-tyreek-hill-trade-rumors-but-catch">Tyreek Hill has created a great deal of chaos in the offseason</a>, making him one of the top names to monitor on the trade market, despite his rescinding his previous request. Regardless of what happens, the Dolphins are likely far from done making moves. Either way, here are our 2025 Dolphins season predictions following the Jalen Ramsey trade.</p><p><b><i>*Watch NFL games LIVE with fuboTV (<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">free trial</a>)*</i></b></p><h2><b>Dolphins will make another blockbuster trade</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Chris-Grier.jpg"><figcaption>Jasen Vinlove-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Whether it is moving Hill or acquiring another cornerback to replace Ramsey, another blockbuster deal seems in store for Miami. While some foresee the Dolphins blowing it up, they are still within the realm of title contention. Grier’s direction remains unclear after dealing Ramsey.</p><p>If they still hope to contend, the Dolphins desperately need another top-level cornerback to replace Ramsey. Landing Fitzpatrick eased the pain, but Miami is facing the unenviable task of replacing both starting cornerbacks in 2025. Storm Duck, who <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/storm-duck/97705#gradesWidget" rel="noopener">underwhelmed as a rookie</a> with a subpar 55.5 Pro Football Focus player grade, is the team’s top remaining option.</p><p>If they do embrace a full rebuild, the Dolphins have many inflated deals Grier would love to get off his books. Hill tops the list, but Bradley Chubb, Tua Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle, Zach Sieler and Austin Jackson would all suddenly become available.</p><p>Given the state of their roster, a rebuild is not likely in the Dolphins’ future. Everything Grier has said thus far suggests he is still all-in on a title run. Yet, in that case, the team desperately needs help in ways the current free agency market cannot provide. The further one digs, the more the Ramsey trade seems more like the first move than the only one.</p><p>The Dolphins missed out on Jaire Alexander, who would have been a suitable Ramsey replacement. However, they can still make more noise in the trade market, with Greg Newsome II, Jonathan Jones, Damarri Mathis, Derion Kendrick and JuJu Brents among the available cornerbacks Grier should chase.</p><h2><b>Minkah Fitzpatrick returns to All-Pro level</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/IMAGN-25.jpg"><figcaption>Marc Lebryk-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Minkah Fitzpatrick’s initial tenure with the Dolphins was brief, but he has a chance to rectify the situation in 2025. After forcing his way out of Miami the first time around, Fitzpatrick can now become the player fans hoped he would have been all along.</p><p>Fitzpatrick was unhappy with the Dolphins in 2019, primarily due to his role on the defense. His main issue was with then-head coach Brian Flores, who is no longer with the team. Under Mike McDaniel and Weaver, Fitzpatrick should be free to settle into his natural free safety position, one that he earned three All-Pro nods in. While he has not made an All-Pro team since 2022, a homecoming could be the bump he needs to return to that level.</p><p>It is not as if Fitzpatrick has fallen off; he has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons. He has not been on par with the league’s elite safeties. His situation appeared to get murkier in 2025 with the addition of Juan Thornhill and rookie Sebastian Castro to the Steelers’ secondary, but a move to Miami gives him free rein over the defense once again.</p><p>In his first year as the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator, Weaver maintained Miami’s elite secondary. They allowed the <a href="https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/team/miami-dolphins/stats" rel="noopener">ninth-lowest completion percentage</a>, second-fewest yards per pass and 10th-fewest passing yards per game in 2024. Much of their success went hand-in-hand with the team’s offensive struggles during Tagovailoa’s injury absence, but looked every bit like a “no-fly zone” all season.</p><p>Fitzpatrick and Holland are functionally different players, but both thrive as roaming free safeties in two-high safety looks. Weaver featured Holland extensively in 2024, suggesting he will do the same with Fitzpatrick.</p><h2><b>Dolphins lead league in sacks in 2025 without Jalen Ramsey</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Miami-Dolphins-LB-Bradley-Chubb.jpg"><figcaption>Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Typically, defensive secondaries and pass-rushing go hand-in-hand with one another. The logic is simple: the better a secondary can contain opposing receivers, the more time pass-rushers have to get home. Losing a player like Jalen Ramsey figures to be detrimental to the Dolphins’ pass-rushers on paper, but should easily be a better unit in 2025.</p><p>The Dolphins managed just 35 sacks in 2024, sixth-fewest in the league. Their lack of sacks and turnovers were the main weaknesses of what was otherwise an elite pass defense. With the same core returning in 2025, improvement seems doubtful.</p><p>However, after injuries decimated the unit in 2024, a fully healthy Dolphins defense boasts one of the best defensive lines in the league. Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips, the team’s two best edge-rushers, both missed the majority of 2024, with Chubb spending the entire season on the physically unable to perform list. Miami expects both to return in the fall.</p><p>Chubb and Phillips return to a group that received significant improvement from Zach Sieler in 2024, and are already liking the offseason improvement of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dolphins-news-mike-mcdaniel-chris-grier-get-100-real-on-drafting-chop-robinson-with-first-round-pick">former first-round pick Chop Robinson</a>. The Dolphins added another menacing pass-rusher in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft when they took Kenneth Grant at No. 13. As an elite interior pass-rusher, Grant gives the team a new threat it did not have in 2024.</p><p>While the Dolphins’ pass-rushing disappointed in 2024, it is an area in which Weaver has historically thrived. The longtime defensive coordinator has an extensive background as a defensive line coach, with success in that role with the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, and Cleveland Browns. Adding Chubb, Phillips and Grant to the returning Sieler and Robinson gives Weaver six formidable pass-rushers to work with.</p><p>The Dolphins might not be an elite defense in 2025, but they will have a top-notch pass-rushing unit. As long as Grier adds another veteran cornerback to his current roster, Miami should not have much reason to panic.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

By most NFL observers’ accounts, this is not the greatest deal for Fitzpatrick. He goes from a legitimate playoff-contending team to one with marginal hope of playing meaningful games in December.</p><p>As for Eric Edholm, he <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/steelers-dolphins-trade-winners-and-losers-from-swap-involving-jalen-ramsey-minkah-fitzpatrick" rel="noopener">seemed to think</a> it could go either way for Fitzpatrick, according to nfl.com.</p><p>“Perhaps this is a full-circle moment for Fitzpatrick,” Edholm wrote. “Over the past few years, he hasn’t seemed to make quite as many game-changing plays as he once did, and he was shoehorned into more nickel duty in Pittsburgh. He’ll have a lot on his plate in Miami, and the Super Bowl might be farther away than it was for him with the Steelers.”</p><h2><b>Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick will bounce back</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/New-Miami-Dolphins-safety-Minkah-Fitzpatrick-2.jpg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After picking off 17 passes over four years from 2019-2022, Fitzpatrick had just over the last two seasons. That should change in Miami</p><p>First, he’ll likely spend more time deep, giving him extra opportunities to react to off-kilter passes, according to espn.com. Ben Solak said he expects Fitzpatrick to play <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45617965/jalen-ramsey-minkah-fitzpatrick-steelers-dolphins-trade-questions-contract" rel="noopener">primarily at free safety</a>.</p><p>“This is almost certainly where the Dolphins need him, as Jevon Holland and Jordan Poyer departed in free agency,” Solak wrote. “And only stopgap options, Ashtyn Davis and Ifeatu Melifonwu, were signed in free agency to replace them.</p><p>“Fitzpatrick, who will turn 29 this season, struggled with his range, reads, and tackling from deep last season. And it’s worth wondering if he can continue to play 90% of his snaps as a roaming, deep-middle player. The Dolphins are betting that he can.”</p><p>Look for Fitzpatrick’s interception total to reach three or four in 2025. Also, his contract situation comes into play in terms of motivation.</p><p>“If Fitzpatrick becomes a rock for that secondary, he could land another extension,” Edholm wrote. “Perhaps even before he turns 30 years old next fall, when he’ll be heading into the final year of his current deal.”</p><h2><b>Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick will fall short of Pro Bowl</b></h2><p>After three straight years in the Pro Bowl, Fitzpatrick will fall short in 2025. It will be harder for him to make a splashy impact for a defense that will have trouble stopping other teams.</p><p>Also, look for Fitzpatrick’s tackle total to drop because the Dolphins will use him in different ways. Overall, it looks like the Dolphins will have trouble staying close to the .500 mark. That will not hurt Fitzpatrick’s chances of making big plays, but also make it more difficult for him to be motivated — especially late in the season.</p><p>If the Dolphins fall out of contention and look for a reboot, Fitzpatrick is the type of player who could help them gain draft assets.</p><p>Because the Dolphins likely aren’t going to be competing for a Super Bowl title any time soon, Fitzpatrick might want to look at the return to his former team as a short-stay situation.

Their willingness to stay relevant in a crowded AFC persuaded them to sign future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will be the oldest active starting signal-caller in the NFL at 41 years old. The Black and Gold continue to prioritize the present rather than the future, as evidenced by its big Monday morning blockbuster.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-fans-react-minkah-fitzpatrick-reunion-jalen-ramsey-steelers-trade">Steelers traded three-time All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick</a> and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for three-time <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/jalen-ramsey-bold-predictions-after-stunning-steelers-trade">All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey</a>, Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith and a 2027 seventh-rounder. Although Smith can potentially add some firepower to the offense, the star CB headlines Pittsburgh’s haul. Fans are cautiously optimistic of what Ramsey could bring to a secondary that stumbled in the latter stretch of the 2024-25 season.</p><p>But they would like to know <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1939735202093297902" rel="noopener">how much the organization is paying him</a>. While the answer may elicit some groans, a highly accomplished corner is not cheap.</p><p>“The Dolphins had previously paid Jalen Ramsey $4M this offseason and they added another $3M more to facilitate the trade — for a total of $7M. The Steelers will pay the rest of the $26.6M this year,” Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported.</p><p>Smith’s inclusion in the deal presumably ensured that Art Rooney II would fork over a majority of Ramsey’s hefty 2025-26 salary. However, it will be money well spent if the 30-year-old can help the franchise win its first playoff game in eight years.</p><h2><b>Can Jalen Ramsey give the Steelers a needed boost next season?</b></h2><p>The Super Bowl 56 champion and seven-time Pro Bowler posted two interceptions, 11 pass breakups, 39 solo tackles and one sack in 17 games for the Dolphins last season. Despite making a sizable impact on run defense, he earned an underwhelming <a href="https://premium.pff.com/nfl/players/2024/REG/player/10639/defense" rel="noopener">71.9 coverage grade</a>, per Pro Football Focus. Jalen Ramsey is in the danger zone when it comes to his position, having logged almost a decade’s worth of mileage.</p><p>The Steelers are hoping to get at least one more productive campaign out of him. Tomlin will have to get creative when employing his new corner, considering Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay are presently lining up on the outside. If the longtime head coach can effectively integrate Ramsey into the defense, then he may extend his streak of no losing seasons.</p><p>But this move cannot reinforce the status quo. For however long he can do it, No. 5 needs to elevate the Steelers. Otherwise, one of football’s most iconic brands will sustain yet another blow.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion issues delayed that pursuit last season, as the team ultimately fell just short of a postseason berth, but head coach Mike McDaniel will be put back under the microscope entering the 2025-26 NFL campaign. Though, in addition to making noise in the AFC, this franchise is also focused on gaining longer-term financial flexibility.</p><p>The conflict to stay competitive and free up some salary cap space presumably explains their motives for completing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-tyreek-hill-reacts-to-blockbuster-jalen-ramsey-trade">Monday’s big trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers</a>. Furthermore, the Dolphins are hoping team morale will be in good standing after parting ways with two seemingly dissatisfied players.</p><p>They sent three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith and a 2027 seventh-round draft pick to Pittsburgh in exchange for three-time All-Pro safety and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-fans-react-minkah-fitzpatrick-reunion-jalen-ramsey-steelers-trade">old friend Minkah Fitzpatrick</a> and a 2027 fifth-rounder. Following this massive roster shake-up, fans are eager to know <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1939713924439355785" rel="noopener">what general manager Chris Grier has planned next</a>. Well, they do not have to wait long to find out.</p><p>“The Dolphins are now in conversations with multiple teams about acquiring a tight end after sending Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh, per sources,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported. “A wild start to the holiday week could get wilder …”</p><h2><b>The Dolphins move forward</b></h2><p>Although they do not play the same position, Fitzpatrick can potentially offer some valuable experience and production in the secondary following Ramsey’s exit. But Miami now needs to find a replacement at TE. Journeyman Pharaoh Brown is currently slotted at the top of the depth chart, <a href="https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/MIA" rel="noopener">according to Ourlads.com</a>. Grier is looking to bring in a new starter who can seamlessly transition into the Tagovailoa-led passing attack.</p><p>Tyreek Hill, who has endured his own strife with the organization, is obviously expected to be the offensive focal point next season. But the Dolphins could still use another weapon to pair alongside the Super Bowl 54 champion and fellow wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. Whomever they acquire will be tasked with succeeding a veteran who accumulated 88 receptions for 884 yards and eight touchdowns last season.</p><p>Although Smith made an undeniable impact in Miami, it is difficult to envision him maintaining such numbers moving forward. He has recorded less than 50 receptions and 500 yards in all but two of his eight NFL seasons and will turn 30 years old in August. The Dolphins were clearly not interested in offering a contract extension, so when he skipped mandatory minicamp, their decision became easy. Whether or not it works out remains to be seen, but Miami feels change is necessary.</p><p>Pittsburgh wasted no time in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/steelers-news-jonnu-smith-12-million-extension-after-dolphins-trade">signing Jonnu Smith to a new deal</a>. The search for a new tight end is ongoing, as is the franchise’s quest for postseason glory. If the Dolphins effectively complete the first mission, they should have a better chance at completing the second one.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

We need Ramsey. He’s a dawg, he’s one of the best corners in the league, a great leader, and a great teammate too. We just need him on the Dolphins.”</p><h2><b>Will Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill be the next to go?</b></h2><p>Hill requested a trade earlier this year, but the notion hasn’t gained traction. General manager Chris Grier said recently he would <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/will-someone-call-the-dolphins-after-june-1-about-a-trade-for-tyreek-hill" rel="noopener">make the asking price</a> astronomically high, according to nbcsports.com.</p><p>“If someone wants to come and give me two first-round picks, then we’d consider it,” Grier said. “But, as of right now, it’s not something we’re considering.”</p><p>However, the Dolphins unloaded quite a bit of 2025 talent with this trade. So if they turn things into a fire sale, perhaps Hill would find a new address. That could open the door for several teams, according to Mike Florio.</p><p>“The contenders that should at least ponder whether Hill can help get them over the top include the Ravens, Texans, Chargers, and 49ers,” Florio said in May. “(The Bills should think about it, too. However, the Dolphins may not be interested in helping Buffalo get back to a Super Bowl.)</p><p>“The Bears also would be an intriguing option, especially with former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy on the coaching staff. But they’re currently loaded at receiver; it wouldn’t work unless they’d send D.J. Moore to Miami as part of the trade.”</p><p>Hill would be an upgrade for any wide receiver room in the league. It seems unlikely any team would surrender two first-round picks. But then again, who expected the Dolphins to shed talents like Smith and Ramsey?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Malik has worked in entertainment and sports, and he specializes in the NBA and NFL.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Miami Dolphins</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Pittsburgh <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jalen-ramsey-breaks-news-of-his-own-steelers-dolphins-trade">Steelers agreed on a trade to acquire Jalen Ramsey</a> and Jonnu Smith from the Miami Dolphins <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1939701534897398018" rel="noopener">in exchange</a> for Minkah Fitzpatrick. For most of the offseason, there was always a good chance that Ramsey would move on from the Dolphins, and both sides were encouraged to find him a new home. Ramsey is still one of the more quality cornerbacks in the league, and at this point in his career, it seems like he could be looking to play multiple positions on defense.</p><p>For the Steelers, they’ve had an interesting offseason as they waited for most of it to see who their starting quarterback will be. After all the waiting, they found out that Aaron Rodgers would sign with them, and their offense has now received a boost with Smith coming into the fold.</p><p>The Dolphins get a quality safety in return for Ramsey and Smith, and he should fit in well with their defense. Let’s grade these trades for both teams and see where they stand now as the offseason continues.</p><h2><b>Steelers get boost on both sides of the ball</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Jalen-Ramsey_3ac714.jpg"><figcaption>Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Steelers added two quality starters to their team with the trade, and it should help bolster both sides of the ball. Defense has always been a specialty for the Steelers, and they’re near the top of the league almost every season in that category. For most of Ramsey’s career, he’s been one of the best cornerbacks in the league, and he’ll be adding his skill and experience to the defensive backs room. There were talks that Ramsey wanted to move to safety later in his career, and the Steelers may give him that opportunity as well.</p><p>Though Ramsey has had a nice career, he is not the same cornerback that he was years ago, and that’s fine. He’ll be serviceable in any role that he’s put in, and he can still make big-time plays on the ball if it comes his way.</p><p>On offense, the Steelers got a tight end in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/steelers-rumors-pittsburgh-renews-jonnu-smith-trade-talks-dolphins">Smith, who had the best season of his career</a> last year with the Dolphins. Smith finished the season with 88 catches, 884 yards, and eight touchdowns, and he was a big part of the Dolphins’ offense given how inconsistent the unit was.</p><p>Rodgers has another security blanket at the tight end position, as Pat Freiermuth was key for them last season. This move mostly means that they will be running a lot of double tight end sets, but there are still questions on how their wide receiver room will look outside of DK Metcalf. In all, this seems like a solid trade for the Steelers, and hopefully, both players are able to live up to what they’ve done throughout their careers.</p><p><b>Steelers trade grade: B-</b></p><h2><b>Dolphins get back veteran help in secondary</b></h2><p>Yes, the Dolphins lost an All-Pro cornerback in Ramsey, but they recieved one back in the trade with Fitzpatrick. It will be a reunion for both sides, as the Dolphins drafted Fitzpatrick with the No. 11 pick in 2018. He was then traded to the Steelers in 2019, and has had a great career with one of the best defensive units in football.</p><p>Fitzpatrick had a solid season with the Steelers last season, and he should continue to play at that high level with the Dolphins. There are a lot of questions surrounding their secondary, but with a veteran like Fitzpatrick in the room, he should definitely help improve that area of the defense.</p><p><b>Dolphins trade grade: B</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In 2025, NBC Sports analyst Mike Florio believes it could be the Miami Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-rumors-multiple-giants-players-surprised-brian-daboll-wasnt-fired">New York Giants’ Brian Daboll who receive the axe</a>.</p><p>Specifically, McDaniel is the coach at the <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/whos-on-the-hot-seat-entering-the-2025-season" rel="noopener">top of the hot seat list</a> in Florio’s eyes. Following a massively disappointing 8-9 season in 2024, McDaniel must prove he can still lead a championship-caliber team before his ownership becomes impatient, according to Florio.</p><p>“Even at a time when everyone is 0-0 and all teams have plausible hope, it feels like the window has closed for a Dolphins team that could end up flying straight into the glass in 2025,” Florio wrote. “There’s dysfunction. There’s turmoil… Ultimately, it comes down to whether Stephen Ross will demand a major change if 2025 ends up being another disappointing season. Thirty years ago, the late Jets owner Leon Hess fired Pete Carroll after one season by saying this, ‘I’m 80 years old, I want results now.’ Stephen Ross is five years older than Hess was when he said that.”</p><p>After leading the Dolphins to an 11-6 record in 2023, many viewed McDaniel as one of the league’s premier coaches. Yet, one year later, he finds himself in hot seat conversations in the ever-unforgiving NFL.</p><p>Even if he is not fired, the 2025 season is the final year of McDaniel’s four-year contract. Another playoff-less season could cause Miami to look elsewhere in the 2026 offseason.</p><h2><b>Brian Daboll under just as much pressure as Mike McDaniel</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Brian-Daboll-at-Giants-practice.jpg"><figcaption>John Jones-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Daboll is Florio’s second-most likely coach to receive his pink slip by a thin margin. However, unlike McDaniel’s situation, Florio believes <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/giants-news-john-mara-sends-blunt-warning-to-brian-daboll-joe-schoen">Daboll is simply dealing with an unstable organization</a> and may suffer as a result.</p><p>“One day, Giants co-owner John Mara said he’d be sticking with GM Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll. Then, Mara said he’s running out of patience. It’s a mixed message to Daboll as to the potential impact of the upcoming season, and it necessarily puts him on the hot seat. It shouldn’t. The Giants are in a difficult division. They need plenty of help from a talent standpoint. Mara should give his regime more time.”</p><p>McDaniel and Daboll are far from the only coaches under scrutiny ahead of the 2025 NFL season, but are forced into precarious situations. Both continue to struggle with issues largely out of their control. While McDaniel’s Dolphins deal with PR nightmares and disgruntled stars, Daboll’s primary issue with the Giants’ ownership might somehow be worse.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The speculation around Ramsey has been that the Dolphins <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-adam-schefter-jalen-ramsey-trade">aim to trade him before training camp begins</a>. They have to get a deal all summer, but Dolphins teammate Tyreek Hill recently came out and said he’s trying his best to get him back.</p><p>Tyreek Hill was on Glory Daze with Johnny Manziel and told Manziel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYp6fMVZfdc&amp;t=409s">that he is trying to get Ramsey back, no matter what</a>. He also talked about how great of a teammate he is and how great he has been in the locker room for Miami.</p><p>Hill said he’s seeing Ramsey next week and will try to get him back. Manziel even asked how much power he has to do this.</p><p>Hill elaborated on all this when he said, “Full court press, I’m getting Ramsey back in a Dolphins jersey, I don’t care what they say, tampering or whatever. We need Ramsey, he’s a dog, he’s one of the best Corners in the league, man. A great leader, a great teammate too, though. That’s what he doesn’t get much credit for, man. We are both going on year 10 and need him on the Dolphins.”</p><p>This is also after Hill went through <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-tyreek-hill-strong-message-teammates-after-trade-drama">his trade drama earlier this offseason</a>. He came in for OTAs and is back to being all-in for Miami.</p><p>Jalen Ramsey was traded from the Rams to the Dolphins in 2023. For three seasons, he was excellent on the outside as the top cornerback in Miami. He earned a three-year $72.30 million extension, making him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. Last season, he had 60 total tackles, 39 solos, two interceptions, and 11 passes deflected.</p><p>On ESPN Radio, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter said Ramsey <a href="https://www.espn.com/espnradio/losangeles/podcast/archive/_/id/29552520">would prefer to go to the West Coast</a> and play for the Los Angeles Rams or the Los Angeles Chargers.</p><p>“I think when you’re trying to figure out a home for Jalen Ramsey, two teams that make sense, and we’ll see how it plays out, would both be in Los Angeles, be it the Chargers or the Rams,” he said</p><p>The Rams initially traded Ramsey away to free up some cap space, so it would not make sense for them to make a move for him. However, Ramsey attending the Chargers and playing under Jim Harbaugh would make a massive difference.</p><p>What will happen with Jalen Ramsey remains to be seen, but one thing is sure: Tyreek Hill will not let him leave without a fight.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

So, we went through the process and just felt … that it was best to move forward. And (it’s the) best interest of the Miami Dolphins and for Jalen Ramsey.”</p><p>The Dolphins are reportedly hesitant to foot the entire bill for Ramsey’s $24 million in guarantees this season. That’s the price it sometimes costs when talking about a seven-time Pro Bowl performer.</p><p>Ramsey came to the Dolphins in 2023. He turned in a Pro Bowl performance, but wasn’t quite as effective last season. Still, he started all 27 games and played 97 percent of Miami’s defensive snaps. That’s quite the opposite of a guy like recently released Jaire Alexander.</p><p>“And it would seem his availability would make him a prime candidate for other teams to pursue in a trade. Ramsey had (11 passes defended) with two interceptions in 2024. He also added a sack and six tackles for loss.</p><p>Good numbers, no doubt. But the Dolphins have planted their trade flag deep into the ground. But Grier said he knows there’s no guarantee of a deal being made.</p><p>“We’re prepared if he’s here, we’ll deal with it,” Grier said. “And if he’s not, we’ll adjust as well. So, we feel good about where it is.</p><p>“It’s never easy to replace a player like Jalen. He was a good player for us. He’s a good player. He’ll probably be a Hall of Famer here. But for the Miami Dolphins going forward, we feel like this is the best chance to help us win — not only just this year but in the future as well.”</p><h2><b>Timing window for making a trade may be closing</b></h2><p>Mike Florio said the <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/chris-grier-jalen-ramsey-didnt-request-trade-moving-on-best-for-both-parties">pressure is mounting</a> for the Dolphins to get a deal done, according to nbcSports.com.</p><p>“And if the wait lasts into training camp, things could become even more interesting,” Florio wrote. “It’s unlikely, given the circumstances, that the Dolphins would want Ramsey in training camp. If Ramsey goes along with that (they can’t keep him away if he wants to work), the Dolphins would keep waiting for the right deal.”</p><p>But if things drift into the regular season, does that mean a deal is dead?</p><p>“The situation could end up having parallels to the Deshaun Watson situation from 2021,” Florio wrote. “He was nearly traded to the Dolphins before Week 1. Then, as the trade deadline approached, it almost happened again. When it didn’t, the Texans paid Watson for the rest of the season before trading him.”</p><p>As for Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, he’s trying to stay <a href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/sports/nfl/dolphins/2025/05/30/jalen-ramsey-trade-miami-dolphins-june-1-cowboys-rams-commanders/83944754007/" rel="noopener">above the fray</a>, according to palmbeachpost.com.</p><p>“I’m very excited to coach a football team, that’s not dismissing, but quite honestly, everything is an opportunity cost,” McDaniel said. “So I think it is quite honestly irresponsible for me to put down some of the thoughts. The focus is on the players that we’re working now.”</p><h2><b>Could the Steelers be in the Jalen Ramsey mix?</b></h2><p>Adam Schefter threw the Pittsburgh Steelers into the ring as <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/steelers/news/pittsburgh-steelers-called-dolphins-star-jalen-ramsey-trade" rel="noopener">a likely candidate</a> to land Ramsey, according to his recent appearance on ESPN Radio’s “Unsportsmanlike” via Sports Illustrated.</p><p>“I think Pittsburgh checked in,” Schefter said. “I’m not so sure Pittsburgh’s gonna be the destination. In fact, if I had to guess, I would say Pittsburgh would not be the likely destination.</p><p>“I think when you’re trying to figure out a home for Jalen Ramsey, two teams that make sense, and we’ll see how it plays out, would both be in Los Angeles, be it the Chargers or the Rams. I know people have brought up the Rams, and the Rams just continue to float around out there. It would have to work financially for both sides.”</p><p>Of course, trades don’t just happen in a vacuum. Things would have to fall into place. But given Ramsey’s value, even at his age, there’s still a strong possibility he could be playing somewhere other than Miami in 2025.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
