Adam Schefter puts timetable on Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey trade
The post Adam Schefter puts timetable on Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey trade appeared first on ClutchPoints.
Jalen Ramsey, the Miami Dolphins' star cornerback, might be gearing up for another move, and it could happen sooner than we expect. During a recent interview on The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN insider Adam Schefter expressed his belief that the Dolphins are likely to trade Ramsey 'before the start of training camp,' noting that the team is in active discussions with several other clubs.

Ramsey seems to have his eyes set on a return to the West Coast, with Schefter mentioning that the talented cornerback 'would like to go to Los Angeles — Rams, Chargers, somewhere like that.' The 30-year-old player spent four successful seasons with the Rams, earning multiple Pro Bowl selections and an All-Pro title before being traded to Miami in 2023.
While there's no deal finalized just yet, the Dolphins have been exploring trade options for Ramsey for months, even before the NFL Draft. Teams like the Rams, Chargers, Steelers, and Commanders have been floated as potential candidates. Schefter reiterated: 'Jalen Ramsey will get traded.'
To wrap up a deal, the Dolphins might have to absorb part of Ramsey's contract. His impressive $24.235 million salary for 2025 might scare off some potential teams, but if Miami makes a post-June 1 trade, they could clear up $9.9 million in cap space. This extra financial wiggle room could be crucial as they aim to tweak their roster before training camp begins.
Even though he's turning 30 this offseason, Ramsey remains a prominent figure in the league. His impressive track record includes six Pro Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl victory with the Rams. Steelers Nation suggested Ramsey as the missing piece to bolster a playoff-caliber defense as they head into 2025. Ramsey's offseason training sessions in California with former Rams safety Eric Weddle have only added fuel to the speculation of a possible reunion in L.A., while other contenders keep a close eye on the situation as camp approaches.

Padres star Tatis sues Big League Advance in attempt to get out of future earnings deal
Eric Samulski unpacks the anticipated MLB debut for Reds pitching prospect Chase Burns, and while he should be added in all formats, managers should leave him on the bench with a difficult schedule ahead. SAN DIEGO — San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. filed a lawsuit Monday against Big League Advance in an attempt to void the future earnings contract he signed as a 17-year-old minor leaguer that could cost him $34 million. The lawsuit, filed in San Diego County Superior Court, accuses BLA of using predatory tactics to lure him into an 'investment deal' that was actually an illegal loan. BLA misrepresented itself to Tatis, hiding its unlicensed status and pushing him into loan terms banned by California's consumer protection laws, the suit alleges. Attorney Robert Hertzberg said the suit also seeks public injunctive relief to protect young athletes from being lured into such deals. Hertzberg said Tatis received $2 million up front in exchange for 10% of future earnings. Tatis signed a $340 million, 14-year contract in February 2021. Hertzberg said Tatis would also be on the hook for future earnings from any subsequent contract he might sign, unless the deal is voided. 'I'm fighting this battle not just for myself but for everyone still chasing their dream and hoping to provide a better life for their family,' Tatis said in a statement provided by a publicist. 'I want to help protect those young players who don't yet know how to protect themselves from these predatory lenders and illegal financial schemes - kids' focus should be on their passion for baseball, not dodging shady business deals.' Tatis, a son of the former big league infielder, declined further comment before Monday night's game against the Washington Nationals. Hertzberg said that even though Tatis signed the deal in his native Dominican Republic, he is covered by California consumer protection laws. BLA declined comment. 'California lawmakers have put in place serious, straightforward protections against predatory financial activity, but BLA has still disregarded our laws to pursue a business model built on prohibited, deceptive and abusive practices,' said Hertzberg, a former speaker of the California State Assembly and majority leader of the California Senate. Tatis has blossomed into one of the game's biggest stars, although he's been dogged by injuries and an 80-game PED suspension handed down by MLB in 2022. He debuted in 2019 and was an All-Star at shortstop in 2021 before being moved to right field, where he was an All-Star last year.

Eagles' Loss Predicted To Be a Huge Gift For Patriots
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Success has come at a high cost for the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason. One of their key defensive linemen from the Super Bowl season managed to hit the open market and secure a deal to become a major investment for the New England Patriots. Milton Williams showed a lot of promise in Philadelphia, despite starting in fewer than 20 games over the course of four seasons. With the Patriots, Williams will see a a role increase, as he inked a reported $104 million contract for the next four seasons with the Patriots. As New England prepares for its run with the new defensive lineman, the ex-Eagle is gaining attention as a "guaranteed riser," according to NFL analyst Marc Ross. "It can be risky paying part-time players big-time money like the Patriots did this offseason with Williams," Ross writes. "He will be tasked with turning around a defense that ranked 22nd in yards and points allowed in 2024. ... it's clear early on that Vrabel is looking for Williams to set the tone in his revamped D-line. He brings the experience to a front that features some young but talented disruptors." Since 2021, Williams has played in fewer than 50 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps each year. He saw the field for a career-high 501 (48%) during the 2024 NFL season. In 17 games, Williams registered 24 tackles, with seven of them going for a loss. He landed 10 hits on the quarterback and picked up five sacks during the regular season.

While the Eagles will miss their former homegrown prospects, the team feels confident in the growth of the others on the frontline, which is headlined by the dominant Jalen Carter. Meanwhile, the Patriots hope that Williams can double his production by increasing his workload. Although Williams joins a rebuilding Patriots squad, they are led by a defensive-minded head coach, who could help get the best out of the Eagles' former third-round pick.
