Miami Dolphins mutually exploring trade options for former Florida State star, 7x Pro Bowler

The 2025 NFL offseason has already delivered plenty of exciting trades. Could another big deal be on the horizon?

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Miami Dolphins and standout cornerback Jalen Ramsey are mutually exploring trade options. After two seasons with the Dolphins, there's a growing probability that Ramsey will be playing for a different franchise in 2025.

Ramsey is owed $25.1 million this season and is under contract through 2028-29. He signed a three-year/$72.3 million extension with the Dolphins ahead of the 2024 season. At the time, the deal made him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL.

The 30-year-old is coming off a campaign where he totaled 60 tackles, six tackles for loss, one sack, two interceptions, and 11 pass deflections in 17 starts. Ramsey is gearing up for his tenth season at the professional level.

The #Dolphins and seven-time Pro Bowl CB Jalen Ramsey are mutually set to explore trade options and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he played elsewhere in 2025, per me and @TomPelissero.

The Miami Dolphins hold nine selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, including the No. 13 overall pick.

Reflecting On Jalen Ramsey's Career At Florida State

Ramsey signed with Florida State as a five-star prospect in the 2013 class under former head coach Jimbo Fisher. He started all 14 games as a true freshman, playing a big role on defense as the Seminoles took down Auburn in the final BCS National Championship.

Over the next two seasons, Ramsey would establish himself as one of the top defensive backs to ever don garnet and gold. He was a back-to-back first-team All-ACC selection in 2014-15 and a consensus All-American in 2015. Ramsey totaled 180 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, five sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries that he returned for touchdowns, three interceptions, and 23 pass deflections with the Seminoles.

Ramsey still makes appearances in Tallahassee and he has an All-American brick in his honor that still sits outside of the Moore Athletic Center.
