Over one month has passed since it became clear Jalen Ramsey and the Dolphins are looking to part ways. Potential suitors have known about the possibility of a trade for even longer, but the All-Pro corner remains a member of the organization for now.

That is still expected to change shortly, however. Neither finances nor skill are seen as the driving forces for a split between team and player in this case. Rather, tension between Ramsey and head coach Mike McDaniel was reported to have resulted in a mutual decision to move on. The latest comments on the matter from defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver confirm that is the case, Adam La Rose of Pro Football Rumors reports.

“In this game, things change by the day,” Weaver said (via C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald). “I have a tremendous amount of respect [for] Ramsey. He played very good ball for us but relationships are hard. Both sides have mutually chosen to go the other way. I respect that and wish him nothing but the best.”

Ramsey has spent the past two seasons in South Beach, and after a knee injury limited him to 10 games in 2023 he managed a full season last year. The seven-time Pro Bowler is under contract for the next four years as a result of Miami’s willingness to keep him in place through the remainder of his prime, but a reversal of that move should be coming soon. A trade after June 1 rather than before will be more feasible for the Dolphins from a cap perspective, leaving time for an agreement with an interested party to be worked out.

Ramsey hopes to continue his career on a contender, and a reunion with the Rams has been mentioned on multiple occasions as something Los Angeles would welcome. It remains to be seen how much – if any – of the 30-year-old’s outstanding guarantees the Dolphins are prepared to absorb in a trade, something which will no doubt be a crucial factor in any agreement. The Cowboys could find themselves in the running for a Ramsey acquisition, but that does not appear to be likely at this point.
