Jalen Ramsey reportedly to miss Dolphins mandatory minicamp

Jalen Ramsey reportedly to miss Dolphins mandatory minicamp Miami cornerback Jalen Ramsey will reportedly miss the Dolphins' mandatory minicamp. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday afternoon that Ramsey was not planning to attend the Dolphins' mandatory minicamp this week as the two sides continue to work towards a trade and a conclusion. Ramsey signed a three-year, $72.3 million contract extension in September of last year, but the relationship between the star cornerback and the Dolphins has soured since. Miami general manager Chris Grier revealed in April that the Dolphins and Ramsey were working toward a divorce. "After a couple weeks of discussion between ourselves internally, and Jalen and his representation, we decided that it was probably in the best interest of all parties to move forward. These decisions aren't done quickly, and they're not taken lightly. We've spent a lot of time this offseason working through this, talking through things. "At the end of the day, Jalen did not ask for a trade. We went through the process, and I just felt—after numerous conversations and talking last week with Jalen and his agent—that it was best to move forward. It was in the best interest of the Miami Dolphins and Jalen Ramsey," Grier said of Ramsey in April. Then, during OTAs, Miami head coach Mike McDaniel sounded like he was resigned to the reality that Ramsey wouldn't be a part of the Dolphins' future. "I'm really worried about the team, the players that will be out on the field today and that's about as much breath as I want to speak into it," McDaniel said. Ramsey was acquired by Miami in a 2023 trade with the Los Angeles Rams. The seven-time Pro Bowler notched five interceptions, one sack, and six tackles for loss during his two seasons with Miami.
