Dolphins to Trade Ramsey; Costly Contract Blunder
Tap title to read story
The Miami Dolphins, after signing cornerback Jalen Ramsey to a lucrative contract last September, are now seeking to trade him. This decision comes with significant financial consequences, including a substantial dead-money charge regardless of the trade timing. Trading Ramsey before June 1st would trigger a $25.213 million charge, while a post-June 1st trade would spread the cost over 2025 and 2026. The Dolphins' decision is viewed as ill-advised, given Ramsey's age (31) and the considerable financial burden associated with the trade, potentially involving further payments to facilitate a deal.
