Dolphins Trade Idea Sends Jalen Ramsey to Packers Amid Jaire Alexander Release
Dolphins Trade Idea Sends Jalen Ramsey to Packers Amid Jaire Alexander Release originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Miami Dolphins are looking to trade All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey. There will likely be plenty of suitors, but a new team has likely just entered the fray. Advertisement For this trade idea, the Dolphins would send Ramsey to the Green Bay Packers for Romeo Doubs and a fifth-round pick in 2026. The Packers have an opening at their cornerback position, and the Dolphins, with some uncertainty surrounding Tyreek Hill, could use another wide receiver to bolster their offense. With the Green Bay Packers set to release cornerback Jaire Alexander, according to Ian Rapoport, a spot in the Packers' defense becomes wide open. Ramsey, a better and cheaper cornerback, is a clear fit for the Packers' defense, now in need of a starting cornerback. After Alexander's release, the door to a potential Ramsey deal swung wide open. Ramsey is 30 years old and entering his 10th season in the NFL. Alexander, on the other hand, is 28 and heading into his eighth NFL season. Advertisement The Packers would add a slightly older cornerback, but one with a much more storied NFL career. Ramsey is a three-time All-Pro and a seven-time Pro Bowler. He also won the Super Bowl with the Rams in 2021 and has 24 career interceptions. Alexander, meanwhile, has been to just two Pro Bowls and hasn't won an All-Pro. He has 12 career interceptions, but hasn't played in a full season since 2022. The Packers would be getting a significant upgrade at cornerback, and it wouldn't cost much more either. Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (5) against the Kansas City Chiefs in the first half during an NFL International Series game at Deutsche Bank Lee-Imagn Images Ramsey signed a three-year extension worth $72.1 million ahead of the 2024 season opener. Signed through 2028, Ramsey has two more years of control over Alexander, while being cheaper than Alexander in 2025. Advertisement Ramsey has cap hits of $16.6 million, $25 million in 2026, $26 million in 2027, and $36 million in 2028. Alexander had cap hits of $24.6 million in 2025 and $27 million in 2026. The Packers would be getting a better, and slightly cheaper, cornerback after their release of Alexander. This trade idea also adds Doubs to the Dolphins' wide receiver room. While the Dolphins don't have a pressing need at wide receiver, they could use depth at the position, especially if Hill is traded. Overall, this trade idea solves the Packers' cornerback issues while resolving the ongoing trade saga surrounding Ramsey and the Dolphins. Miami would net a fifth-round pick, and Doubs, who would provide solid depth at the wide receiver position for Miami.

View more Video Transcript The Jags became sort of the joke of the international series because nobody went to see Jacksonville games. Advertisement You've got real teams that are in their Super Bowl window losing home playoff or home games. If I'm a Minnesota Vikings fan, I want every single home game I can get for a team that won 14 games last year. To your point, Frank, if I'm a Chargers fan, like, I want home games. Like this is the moment against the Chiefs. Like that's your biggest game of the year. Literally your biggest game of the year is the home game against the Chiefs. gave it away. It's such a slap in the face to everything that happens for fans that wait and wait and wait for the opportunity. I, I can only imagine if you, if you're a, a Browns fan and this turns out to be a magical year and suddenly your team opens up undefeated and Shatour is lighten it up, and then it's like, great, now we lose a home game to London. Advertisement Like, these are, that, that's just the chances that they take in this process that I think is so unfair to the fans that get kicked in the no, no places year in and year out. For their fandom. And this is the reward they get. Now you get to travel internationally to try to watch your favorite team. Yeah, and it's only going to get worse because the NFL has approved going up from 4 international games in addition to the standing Jacksonville game at Wembley to 8 international games in addition to the standing game at Wembley. And so we're only going to increase that slate, and their goal, I believe, is to have every single team play an international game every year. Advertisement I mean, we have the Vikings playing. Two international games back to back this year. So I mean some of this stuff is crazy. I feel like that's Woody Johnson being like after you embarrassed me abroad with the Vikings beating us, you have to make them play 2 games abroad. 2 weeks abroad in different countries. You don't think that takes a little bit out of you? And this is a team that won 14 games last year and should come back and feel like we could take the next step with a Super Bowl. And now, like that, I think that's going to mess with their their season for a little bit. That's gonna tire them out. Advertisement Like this is. You're, you're spending two weeks in Europe, like, uh, I just, again, these, these kind of things and it's, it's probably my schedule nerdom and nerdom and uh OCD and all that, but I'm like, this is not fair to 1 out of 32 teams. None of the other teams are dealing with this. Why are the Vikings dealing with this?
