The absence of Jalen Ramsey from the Miami Dolphins' mandatory minicamp in June 2025 highlights a significant shift in the team's defensive strategy. Ramsey, a three-time All-Pro cornerback, is on the trade block due to an off-field disconnect and his substantial contract, which includes a $20.2 million guaranteed salary for the 2025 season.
Potential trade partners include the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, and Washington Commanders, with the Carolina Panthers reportedly offering the best package. The Dolphins' secondary will rely on Kader Kohou and Cam Smith, the latter having been challenged by GM Chris Grier to improve after two underwhelming seasons.
For fantasy football managers, this situation suggests a potential decline in the Dolphins' defensive performance, possibly impacting their overall team defense ranking for the 2025 season.
