Miami Dolphins’ offseason moves are bold but trading $72 Million star Jalen Ramsey might be massive mistake

The Miami Dolphins aren’t short on headlines this offseason but not all of them are good. While some fans are applauding the team's aggressive roster moves, others are raising eyebrows over decisions that feel more like calculated risks than sound strategy. Sure, the front office beefed up the trenches with promising names like Kenneth Grant and Jonah Savaiinaea in the 2025 NFL Draft. But behind the scenes, the team seems dangerously close to sabotaging its own secondary by shopping none other than All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey.


Yes, Miami added solid rotational pieces in free agency—James Daniels, Ifeatu Melifonwu, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine all bring something to the table. And yes, Kenneth Grant has the makings of a game-wrecker in the middle. But none of that addresses the elephant in the room: a vulnerable secondary. Ramsey isn’t just a star, he’s the backbone of that unit. Trading him now after a season where he played all 17 games, logged 60 tackles, two interceptions, and posted a PFF grade among the league’s top 20 corners—feels like a gamble that could backfire fast.
The Dolphins aren't exactly swimming in elite corners. Yet here comes GM Chris Grier openly admitting the team is exploring trade options. Ramsey carries a hefty $16 million cap hit in 2025 but shedding that doesn’t guarantee better results on the field. In fact, it almost ensures regression on the defensive back end.

The Baltimore Ravens seem to collect seasoned stars like trading cards. For Baltimore, this move makes sense. They're perennial contenders, their secondary was battered by injuries last year, and pairing Ramsey with Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey could turn their defense into a Super Bowl-caliber force. For Miami? It would mean handing a title contender a weapon while weakening their own war chest.
The optics are tough to ignore. Just when Miami seems poised to take a step forward, they’re flirting with a decision that reeks of short-sighted planning. Trading Ramsey isn’t just a bold move, it could become the defining mistake of the Dolphins’ 2025 campaign.

Because sometimes, the riskiest play isn’t the one you call. It’s the one you let happen.
