Sean McVay Reveals Reason Why Dolphins Haven't Traded Jalen Ramsey
Sean McVay Reveals Reason Why Dolphins Haven't Traded Jalen Ramsey originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
June 1st was designated as the possible date that the Miami Dolphins would part ways with Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and for whatever reason, he remains on the roster nearly three weeks later.

There could be a couple of reasons as to why, maybe Miami hasn't received an offer they deem worthy. But the more likely reason is Ramsey's bloated salary, which owes him $72 million over the next three years.
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, whose team has been rumored to be interested in Ramsey's services, spoke to the media at Rams mandatory minicamp about the difficulties of acquiring a player with that large of a contract.
'Usually, those are scenarios and situations that you have to have plans in place prior to executing some of the decisions that have occurred,' McVay said via NFL.com's Kevin Patra.

'Definitely don't want to rule anything out because we're always open-minded to onboarding and acquiring quality players and people like him if we're able to do that, but there would be some obstacles that are real that are in the place of maybe preventing that from occurring.'

The obstacles that McVay is referring to is money.
If Miami is really intent on trading Ramsey, they are more than likely going to have to agree to either pay a portion of his salary or receive less compensation in return for the Florida State product.
Regardless, a trade for the former Jacksonville Jaguar and Los Angeles Ram should be in the works, and him moving on from the Dolphins is more of a question of when and not if.

Buss family agrees to sell majority stake of Los Angeles Lakers in reported record $10B deal
The Buss family has agreed to sell majority ownership of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most storied franchises in all of sports, to Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter, a source familiar with the agreement told CNN. The valuation of the agreement is approximately $10 billion, representing the most lucrative deal for a professional sports team, according to the Associated Press. ESPN's Shams Charania was first to report the agreed sale. CNN has reached out to the Lakers and Dodgers for comment. Aside from being the chairman and controlling owner of the Dodgers, Walter is the CEO and founder of the holding company TWG Global. The diversified business also holds stakes in the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks, the Premier League's Chelsea FC and the newly formed Cadillac Formula One team, which is scheduled to make its debut on the grid in 2026, among other sports franchises. On Wednesday, TWG said Walter is entering into an agreement to acquire additional interests in the Lakers. He has owned a minority stake in the franchise since 2021. Basketball Hall of Famer Jerry Buss bought the Lakers in 1979 and oversaw the franchise winning 10 NBA titles. After his death in 2013, his daughter Jeanie Buss took over the role as governor of one of the most successful franchises in sports. Los Angeles added another Larry O'Brien trophy to the collection in 2020, led by LeBron James, the team's 17th NBA championship. Last season, the Lakers finished in third place in the Western Conference with a 50-32 record before being eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs. James still remained one of the better players in the league in his 22nd season, averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists. But the team shocked the world by executing one of the most stunning blockbuster trades in NBA history. Los Angeles acquired NBA superstar Luka Doncic, as well as Maxi Kleber, Markieff Morris from the Dallas Mavericks for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and the Lakers' 2029 first-round draft pick. The NBA's all-time leading scorer reportedly signed a two-year, $104 million maximum contract to return to the Lakers ahead of 2024-2025 season and has a player option to return next season. Team president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka had previously said James will be keeping an eye on how the roster improves in the offseason. Buss reportedly will continue in her role with the franchise after the sale.

'Rigged league': Outrage over NHL's Evander Kane inquiry into Oilers' use of salary cap relief
This in from The Daily Face-off's Frank Seravalli: 'Sources: NHL plans to continue to examine the #Oilers usage of LTIR salary cap relief for forward Evander Kane. The NHL may require more information to satisfy itself that the #Oilers complied with the CBA.' Seravalli writes: 'The NHL is still deliberating on next steps. There is the potential for retroactive punishment if the league finds the spirit of the CBA was violated. No team in the salary cap era has been punished for LTIR usage, despite the hot button issue and no shortage of complaints in recent years.' The report at once brought on a storm of reaction in Edmonton, where tempers are already ragged after alleged miscalls by referees in the Stanley Cup Final came just before Florida five key gaals in the series. The outrage from Oilers fans and commentators on the Kane Inquiry ranged from perplexed to red hot furious: Edmonton sports radio host Brenden Escott @BrendenEscott Whether it's on the ice or off, Evander Kane is going to draw extra attention from the NHL and its officials. Why is THIS the case they decide to pursue? NHL hockey commentator Jonathan Willis @JonathanWillis This is of a piece with the league taking 2nd round picks from the Oilers for Chiarelli and McLellan and changing the conditions of the third-rounder in the Lucic trade. Edmonton sports radio host Dustin Nielson @nielsonTSN1260 Why now? This is ridiculous. Brad Clough @CloughBrad In game 6, the Oilers iced a team with salaries totalling $73.3 million. Florida was $93.4 million. Retention and LTIR excluded. Yeah so the Oilers are the problem 🤦♂️ Captain Jack 🏴☠️ @OilersJack The NHL hates the Oilers. Any other narrative is bullsh*t pushed by rivals in McRebuilds. Oilers fan Ron Prochner @RonProchner The Oilers will send a 3rd round pick to Calgary Oilers fan Pat McFee @TheRealPatMcFee How much investigating did they do with Tampa Bay, Vegas and Florida? I'm betting 0 minutes. Oilers fan Finn 🇨🇦 @oilersjayscan Lol of course they will😂 So it's okay for Vegas to constantly abuse that loophole, but when we do it, NOW they're going to investigate🤣🤣 Classic Bettman league Oilers fan Maltsy 🇨🇦 @KMalts11 Classic NHL. When it's a Canadian team that does it now it's a problem. Oilers fan Emily Hall @Pooks_rutherfor Oilers fans need to protest this action. NHL is picking only Edmonton Oilers for Evander Kane LTIR cuz of the grievance he filed vs. NHL and San Jose Sharks. They're mad cuz he won his grievance and this action is retaliatory. Oilers fan Bone @bonejrp Teams do this over and over and the first time a Canadian team does it they turn it into a witch hunt when literally every team Edmonton faced in the playoffs had a higher payroll than them during the playoffs. Den Polland @oilersgm2 That's a fricken joke! How many teams, how many years has this been going on for? This league seriously is trying to remove the Canadian teams. Oilers fan Connors Better…. @marten_ferguson Lol… Tampa, fine…. Vegas ( twice) , fine, …. edmonton… BURN THEM AT THE STAKE! Oilers fan Rob Soria @Oil_Drop This league is ridiculous. Oilers fan Ahmed @NHL_Bouchard But Mark Stone and Matthew Tkachuk are A OK!! Wooo. Most bunk and corrupt league in all major sports. Gary Bettman i wish nothing but the worst on you Oilers fan Just Here 4 🏒 @JustHereforNHL Rigged league. Canadian teams don't have a chance with Bettman Oilers fan Lotsy @lotsryan Ridiculous. The guy had major surgery on both adductors and two hernia surgeries PLUS a separate knee surgery during the recovery. Why choose THIS specific instance to finally look into it when other teams have been doing it for years AND WINNING CUPS AFTER DOING SO? And from outside sources: VGK hockey commenator Chris Gawlik @TDChrisG 1, after the Stanley Cup Final is a hell of a time to start asking questions 2, the problem isn't what Edmonton, Vegas, Florida, Tampa, or Chicago did. The rule LTIR is a mockery to begin with. Teams should circumvent the cap anyway they can. Vancouver sports radio commentator Blake Price @justBlakePrice So if the Oilers had won the Cup, they would have investigated this 'after' they had used the player to win it? Totally makes sense. Toronto sports radio commentator Justin Bourne @jtbourne Wouldn't be surprised if the league is looking for the chance to punish *someone* so they have something to point as a threat in the years ahead? But it's pretty insane that it would happen after the playoffs. 1. All year I noticed that the Oilers were exceedingly careful about how they talked about Kane's injury situation and whether or not he would use the cap space that flowed out of the players injuries, multiple surgeries and absence from the roster. Exceedingly cautious. Now we know why. The NHL is on the look-out to punish some team and some player for LTIR abuse, I suspect. What better target than fierce Evander Kane, widely hated around the team by many rival fans, players and managers? 2, With his multiple injuries and surgeries, one would expect Kane to have a good case for missing all the time he did. Did he come back too early? Too late? So long as Kane's doctors and Kane were on the same page with this, it's hard to imagine the NHL will find any wrong-doing. Surely a player and his doctor are allowed to determine when he's fit to play, no? That should not be up to NHL officials. 3. Kane was good in the playoffs, but he wasn't shot out of a cannon on his return. He missed Game 1 of the playoffs against Los Angeles. In the end, he scored 12 points in 21 playoff games and took 44 minutes in penalty. He was de-fanged in the Stanley Cup Final after he took one or two iffy high-sticking penalties, made all the worse due to Edmontoln's struggling penalty kill.
