Reports: Dolphins, CB Jalen Ramsey agree to explore trade
It appears cornerback Jalen Ramsey's time as a Miami Dolphin could be coming to an end.
The Dolphins and Ramsey have mutually agreed to explore trade options, according to reports.
The Dolphins extended Ramsey's contract this spring. Spotrac reported Ramsey's contract has $91.8 over four years remaining, including a guaranteed $21.5 million through 2025.
Ramsey, 30, came to Miami after the 2022 season in a deal with the Los Angeles Rams for a third-round pick and tight end Hunter Long. Ramsey missed the first seven games that season with a knee injury, but he still made the Pro Bowl for the seventh time.
After the 2022 season, Ramsey agreed to a three-year, $72.3 million extension that made him the league's top-paid cornerback, a designation since removed (Texans CB Derek Stingley Jr. makes $30 million annually on his new $90 million contract).
Ramsey is currently due a guaranteed $25.1 million, but a new team would only have to pay him $21.1 million this season. That's because the Dolphins already have paid Ramsey's $4 million roster bonus.
A firm deadline for a deal does not exist, NFL Network reported Tuesday, but Miami is motivated to do a deal before the 2025 NFL Draft on April 24. Dolphins general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel could use the draft to shore up their ranks a cornerback. Miami holds the No. 13 overall pick, and has nine additional selections.

Kansas City Chiefs' Creed Humphrey ranks as PFF's top center going into 2025
Pro Football Focus recently ranked Kansas City Chiefs standout Creed Humphrey as the NFL's top center. The veteran offensive lineman continues to garner respect for his consistent play since being drafted out of Oklahoma in 2021, solidifying the unit. "Since stepping foot on an NFL field in 2021, Humphrey has not only been the most productive center but also the most productive offensive lineman in the NFL, period." wrote Mason Cameron, "His 2.05 PFF WAR over the past four seasons is the highest figure among all offensive linemen, and his 94.9 cumulative PFF overall grade ranks second, behind only Trent Williams." Advertisement Humphrey has been named an All-Pro twice and selected to the Pro Bowl three times since the start of his rookie season. The two-time Super Bowl champion led all centers in offensive snaps with 1,112 last season. Before the start of the 2024 season, Humphrey agreed to a four-year, $72 million extension with a $50 million guarantee to remain with the Chiefs.

Robert Griffin III says Michael Penix Jr. will NFL's 'breakout QB' of 2025
Robert Griffin III says Michael Penix Jr. will NFL's 'breakout QB' of 2025 Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. receives praise from former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year After several mediocre seasons, the Atlanta Falcons have a real shot to turn things around in 2025. While we've seen this team compete for the NFC South title in recent years, Atlanta hasn't made the playoffs since 2017. Second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will be at the helm of whatever success the Falcons have this season. The former No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft started just three games for Atlanta last season but will enter 2025 as the team's unquestioned starter. Despite Penix's lack of experience, former NFL quarterback-turned-analyst Robert Griffin III believes the Falcons quarterback is on the verge of a "breakout" season. Griffin, or "RGIII" as most know him as, noted Penix's arm talent and ability to stand in the pocket in the face of the pass rush. The former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year believes these traits give Penix a solid foundation to build around as a quarterback. We've seen many great college quarterbacks struggle to adjust to the pass rush at the NFL level. Griffin noted Penix's impressive average of 17.3 yards per completion when under pressure last season. Griffin's comments come on the heels of praise also given by a former Falcons quarterback, Kurt Benkert, as he predicts Penix will break 5,000 all-purpose yards. Considering he isn't known for using his legs to get down field, a large portion of that would likely have to come through the air. It's not just Penix's talent that has those around the NFL buying in. The young signal-caller's supporting cast should truly give him a chance to succeed this season. Drake London, Bijan Robinson and Darnell Mooney will present matchup problems for any opposing defense. Plus, fifth-year tight end Kyle Pitts is not someone to sleep on this season. Penix will be Pitts' fifth starting quarterback since joining the Falcons in 2021. So while a lot of people are quick to hammer the 24-year-old for not consistently putting up Pro Bowl numbers, having consistent quarterback play could be all he needs to succeed.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt appreciates offseason workouts: 'Prepared me more'
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt appreciates offseason workouts: 'Prepared me more' During his voluntary OTA press conference, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt expressed his excitement about the upcoming season and the opportunity to experience full offseason workouts. "It's going to definitely help me get my body in shape (and) get used to hitting and grinding out those long, tough days in training camp," said Hunt, "That's what helps you get through the season." Last season, Hunt led Kansas City in rushing with 728 yards and seven touchdowns. He didn't join the Chiefs until Week 4 last season after being signed due to Isiah Pacheco's injury. "I'm definitely going to be able to come in guns blazing," said Hunt. "I'm excited that I get to get my legs underneath me and actually do football stuff and work drills and go against defensive guys and stuff like that so that just prepared me more instead of just coming (in), not being tackled or touched." Hunt's full camp with Kansas City will be essential for the new season. He may not be the same player who earned All-Rookie and Pro Bowl honors in 2017, winning the rushing title with 1,327 yards, but he's an effective, experienced option in the backfield.
