Sports Seriously
The Miami Dolphins and Jalen Ramsey mutually agreed to seek a trade for the veteran cornerback a couple of weeks ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Ramsey remains on Miami's roster nearly two months later, but it appears the two parties are still planning to split before the 2025 season.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Ramsey is not planning to attend the Dolphins' mandatory minicamp this week as the two parties "continue to work towards a trade."
Miami's minicamp will run from June 10-12. If Ramsey does not attend, he will be subject to a fine for each day he misses. According to Spotrac, a player fine will be a maximum of $17,462 for the first day absent, $34,925 for the second day and $52,381 for missing a third day.
The NFL's new CBA only allows fines to be forgiven on rookie deals, so it doesn't appear Miami will be able to waive any fines assessed to Ramsey.
JALEN RAMSEY LANDING SPOTS: Rams, Raiders among best fits if Dolphins trade CB
Ramsey has four years remaining on his contract with the Dolphins, as the three-year, $72.3 million extension he signed with the team on eve of the 2024 NFL season still hasn't kicked in yet. He is set to have a cap hit of just under $16.7 million this season while taking home $25.1 million in cash, per Spotrac.com.
The Dolphins will be able to split any dead-cap hit – guaranteed money already paid to a player no longer on the team – associated with trading or releasing Ramsey over two seasons because the NFL's June 1 deadline has passed. Making it palatable for Miami to trade Ramsey, as it would take manageable dead-cap hits of roughly $10.75 million in 2025 and $18.5 million in 2026 while creating $5.9 million in space for the upcoming season.
Releasing Ramsey would be more penal. The Dolphins would take on just under a $31 million dead-cap hit this season – which would cost them $14.3 million in present-day cap space – while still absorbing a dead-cap blow of $18.5 million next season.
It isn't clear whether the Dolphins are willing to release Ramsey if they can't find a willing trade partner.

‘Siouxperspiel' attracts curlers from near and far
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The curling community has been buzzing as the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Curling in Sioux Falls draws closer. To help keep that excitement in the air, Sioux Falls Curling hosted a tournament this weekend. 32 teams made their way onto the ice this weekend for this year's 'Siouxperspiel.' 16 were from Sioux Falls, but the other half came from as far as Watertown, Aberdeen and central Minnesota. Eric Newhouse traveled from Omaha to participate for the second straight year. A summer staple frozen in time 'We had such a great time doing that, we thought we'd come back up and play. It's a fun club. There are great teams. The ice is terrific,' Newhouse said. Newhouse says the competition has been fierce. 'I think in general, the teams we faced are really, really good, especially the first one. Then you've got a couple of Olympic contenders sprinkled in there as well,' Newhouse said. The event, which curlers call a bonspiel, has also been good for the community. 'It brings people from outside of our community into Sioux Falls. We've had people going downtown to eat at our restaurants, going to The Falls, getting around Sioux Falls,' Sioux Falls Curling Vice President Jennifer Farke said. And the curlers who participated this weekend hope the sport continues to grow. 'Traditionally, most of your best curlers are going to be from Minnesota and Wisconsin. You don't see a lot of it in other parts of the country, but now, we've got a huge club down in Omaha. You've got a huge and growing club up here,' Newhouse said. 'I am super excited for this sport to grow and grow and grow because you can start at 11 years of age, and you can curl. There's a lady here curling; she's 86 years old, and I want to be her, and she plays pickleball, too. It's a sport anyone can play.' curler Kendra Gatz said. Team Workin from Fargo, North Dakota took home the championship. The Olympic Trials will take place at the Denny Sanford Premier Center from November 11-16.
