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.
