The Miami Dolphins are facing a dilemma involving two of their top stars: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Ramsey. While neither player seems eager to leave South Florida, their sizable contracts—combined with the Dolphins’ unwillingness to offer financial relief—are making it difficult for other teams to strike a trade.
Miami is reportedly exploring trade options for Ramsey, but the Dolphins are making negotiations tough by refusing to cover any part of his contract.
“The Dolphins appear unwilling to take on any of Jalen Ramsey’s guaranteed money to facilitate a trade. Teams are very interested in trading for Ramsey, but don’t want to take on his full contract. This is the current hold up,” Jeremy Fowler reported.
Nearly every playoff contender would love to have Ramsey on their roster—including a familiar destination where he already won a Super Bowl just a few years ago.
“Ramsey heading back to Los Angeles makes so much sense. The Rams are in a definite contention window, and Los Angeles has won a Super Bowl with the Miami Dolphins cornerback on the field before. Ramsey finishing out his career where he once won a title just makes so much sense. It'd be a seamless fit, and Miami could recoup some draft capital for next year in the process,” Cory Woodroof wrote.
Another potential landing spot for Ramsey could be even more dangerous: the Cincinnati Bengals, who already boast one of the league’s top quarterbacks.

“The Bengals should also kick the tires on a Ramsey deal. Cincinnati is looking to get back in the playoff mix with an improved defense but has done virtually nothing to improve its cornerback room,” Kristopher Knox wrote.
Adding Ramsey would be a huge boost to the Bengals' defense. Pairing a lockdown corner with Joe Burrow on the other side of the ball could change the tone of the team. And this time, Ramsey would have the chance to win a Super Bowl with Burrow—not by beating him for one.
