Sun May 25 13:40:00 UTC 2025: **Dolphins Eye Jalen Ramsey Trade; NFC Rivals Circle, Packers Sit Out**

Miami Gardens, FL – The Miami Dolphins are reportedly shopping star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, a move that could significantly impact the NFC landscape. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys, and Washington Commanders are actively engaged in trade talks for the seven-time Pro Bowler.

The Dolphins are motivated to make a deal after June 1st. This is because trading Ramsey before that date would result in a hefty $25 million dead cap hit in 2025. Waiting until after June 1st lowers that hit to $6.7 million, pushing the remainder onto the 2026 cap.

While several NFC contenders are vying for Ramsey, the Green Bay Packers appear to be sitting this one out. This suggests the Packers are focused on retaining Jaire Alexander, despite reports he’s been on the trade block and concerns about his $17.5 million salary in 2025.

The Packers’ reluctance to pursue Ramsey hints they are hoping to reach a restructured contract with Alexander. If that fails and Alexander is traded or released, the team would likely rely on a young and unproven cornerback group consisting of Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine, and Nate Hobbs.

Adding to the intrigue, all interested teams are in the NFC. Ramsey would make the road to the Super Bowl more difficult for Green Bay.
