Report: Jalen Ramsey has Rams 'on his radar as a potential option' if traded
Now that the calendar has flipped to June, the Miami Dolphins are much more likely to trade Jalen Ramsey at some point soon. A post-June 1 trade is feasible financially for the Dolphins, whereas trading him in the past few months would've cost them much more on the salary cap in 2025.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler shared an update on Ramsey's situation during an appearance on 'SportsCenter' Sunday and he reiterated that the Los Angeles Rams are a viable landing spot.

According to Fowler, Ramsey has the Rams 'on his radar as a potential option,' though there hasn't been any movement yet.
'The LA Rams, Ramsey's old team, is on his radar as a potential option. Nothing moving there as of yet. He should have a new team this fall,' Fowler said.
As for the timeline of when the Dolphins could move the All-Pro cornerback, Fowler says they're expected to trade him in the coming days and weeks.
'The expectation is that Ramsey will be traded in the coming days and weeks,' Fowler said. 'They can save about $10 million on their salary cap if they do so. That is not the issue. He's got $24 million guaranteed. That is the major issue here. Teams have been a little spooked by that.'

In Sean McVay's latest update on the matter, he said the Rams and Dolphins haven't had any 'meaningful, tangible dialogue' lately, seemingly putting a deal on the backburner for L.A.
'But that can always change pretty quickly as you know,' he said, adding that the Rams 'certainly haven't closed the door' on a deal.
'There are a lot of layers with something of that magnitude when you're talking about the caliber of the player, the compensation that they're looking for in return, what does that look like in terms of how they want to handle what he's actually due?' McVay said. 'Obviously, we love Jalen. We know Jalen intimately. There would be some things that we would need to be able to do if that was going to be a direction that we went.'
It seems this situation is in wait-and-see mode but a resolution could come in the next days or weeks, as Fowler mentioned.

Diamondbacks catcher Moreno has hairline fracture of finger. Reliever Puk has surgery
DENVER (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno has a hairline fracture in his right index finger and could be sidelined until after the All-Star break. Moreno was injured June 6 in Cincinnati, then played through it for more than a week. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to Monday. 'I appreciate what he was trying to do," manager Torey Lovullo said Friday night before the Diamondbacks faced Colorado. "I know that he had some at-bats that he was working through, pain-wise, and they were successful at-bats. He was just gutting it out, but it just became too much.' Star outfielder Corbin Carroll was out for a second straight game because of a contusion on his left hand after he was hit by a pitch Wednesday night in Toronto. X-rays showed no fracture and he was available off the bench Friday night. Meanwhile, left-handed reliever A.J. Puk had surgery on his left elbow Friday. He will miss the rest of the season. The surgery was to determine the condition of the ligament in his pitching elbow and if he would need it replaced. 'If the ligament's still in place, they won't replace the ligament,' Lovullo said. 'They'll just do that external bracing. If the ligament is damaged and they need to put a new ligament in there, yeah, it'll be officially Tommy John surgery.' Carroll was working on the field Friday before the game. 'Corb is much better, trending in a very positive direction. And just want to give him a work day, just try and get out, see how he feels,' Lovullo said. 'The last thing you want to do is put a bat in your hand and have something sting. So he's going to do all that he can. So as of right now, he'll be available for the game, and then we'll hopefully trend upward from there." ___

Dolphins New Timeline Revealed for Jalen Ramsey Trade
Dolphins New Timeline Revealed for Jalen Ramsey Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NFL world has now known for two months that the Miami Dolphins are looking to trade Jalen Ramsey, but no deal has been made yet. Advertisement Ramsey did not appear at organized team activities (OTAs) or mandatory minicamp, and it would be a surprise at this point if he showed up for training camp next month. Now, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio says you may not see a deal made until after the regular season begins, or at least until a notable injury takes place. "The fact that a trade hasn't happened proves that it's not going smoothly," Florio said. "Ultimately, the Dolphins may have to wait for someone with another team to get injured before a true market for Ramsey's contract will materialize." Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (5) runs onto the field before the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Hard Rock Navarro-Imagn Images The only team that has been linked as a possible trade partner is the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Sean McVay was bullish on a potential deal. Advertisement Florio believes the team needs leverage to help them recoup some value from Ramsey's contract, worth upwards of $72.3 million through the 2028 season. He named the Rams as a potential partner that could help create some leverage. Florio noted that it is highly unlikely to see a scenario like Deshaun Watson had with the Houston Texans in 2021, where Watson was nearly traded but ended up being paid to sit the entire season. It would also be a surprise if Ramsey, who turns 31 in October, would be okay with sitting out an entire season at this point in his career. Both Ramsey and the Dolphins have motivation to work out a deal, Florio believes it is just a matter of what return Miami is comfortable with getting back.

Trade Idea Lands Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey With Saints
Trade Idea Lands Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey With Saints originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Miami Dolphins and star cornerback Jalen Ramsey mutually agreed to find a trade partner early in the offseason. However, there's now less than a month until training camp begins, and Ramsey remains in Miami. Advertisement The latest trade idea for the Dolphins' star is sending him to the New Orleans Saints for a fourth-round pick. The Saints don't have the largest need at the position, but have the cap space for Ramsey and could use a bona fide No. 1 option at cornerback in the midst of their rebuild. New Orleans' projected starting corners in 2025 are Kool-Aid McKinstry, Isaac Yiadom, and Alontae Taylor. The Saints drafted McKinstry in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and he had a productive rookie campaign with 42 tackles, two TFLs, and six passes defended. Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (5) against the Kansas City Chiefs in the first half during an NFL International Series game at Deutsche Bank Lee-Imagn Images After spending 2024 with the 49ers, Yiadom signed a three-year, $9 million deal with the Saints this offseason. The former 49er had similar numbers to McKinstry in 2024, collecting 46 tackles, six passes defended, and forcing two fumbles. Yiadom returns to the Saints in 2025 after spending 2022 and 2023 in New Orleans. Advertisement The Saints drafted Taylor in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft and have had stable production from him all three years. Taylor posted a career-high 89 tackles, seven TFLs, 16 passes defended, and four sacks in 2024. New Orleans has three reliable starters at cornerback and will be looking for another year of development in their young draft picks alongside the veteran Yiadom. However, the addition of Ramsey would bolster the secondary that already features Tyrann Mathieu and Justin Reid at safety. The Saints have just over $29 million in cap space available in 2025 and would be able to pick up Ramsey's contract. When the Dolphins inevitably move on from Ramsey, they'll be relying on Storm Duck and Kader Kohou to lead the cornerback group and look for the emergence of Cam Smith, Artie Burns, Jason Marshall Jr., or Ethan Bonner to fill the final spot.
