There should be some suitors for the seven-time Pro Bowler, it&#8217;s a matter of it making sense financially as much as a team&#8217;s need.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Ramsey is entering his age-31 season, and he did not earn a Pro Bowl selection for the first time since his rookie season last year. But he was still pretty good in 2024,\u00a0allowing an 83.2\u00a0passer rating in his coverage with 11 pass breakups.\u00a0PFF graded him\u00a0as its 10th-best cornerback in the league.<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings re-signed Byron Murphy and signed Isaiah Rodgers\u00a0in free agency, but after that there are question marks on the cornerback depth chart. So the idea of them being in the mix for Ramsey is easy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_4\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">Ramsey did not overlap with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores in Miami when Flores was the head coach there for three years (2019-2021). However, he was with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021, when Vikings head coach Kevin O&#8217;Connell was the offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>Any conversation about acquiring Ramsey has to include a conversation about his contract. He signed a three-year, $72.3 million deal the Dolphins signed him to last fall. He has already been paid a $4 million roster bonus, so an acquiring team would be\u00a0taking on $21.1 million\u00a0guaranteed for this year.<\/p>\n<p>The guaranteed salary in his contract expires after this year, but the Dolphins will carry some dead money impact regardless of the timing of a trade or how they\u00a0handle the doling out of an\u00a0option bonus.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Grade the Trade Proposal: Minnesota Vikings swing a deal for Miami Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The Dolphins might like to trade Ramsey\u00a0before the upcoming NFL Draft, which will begin next Thursday, April 24th. With that in mind, some trade proposals that have already come out are along that line.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Dustin Baker of Vikings Territory\u00a0recently shared a trade proposal\u00a0to bring Ramsey to Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Bleacher Report\u00a0also shared a trade proposal\u00a0recently that sends Ramsey to Minnesota, but they removed the 2026 sixth-rounder that the Vikings would also get in Baker&#8217;s proposal.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Before a possible move to trade out of the first round and add picks, Minnesota only has a total of four selections in this year&#8217;s NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>But a player of Ramsey&#8217;s caliber makes it palatable to part with one, with a presumption that the Vikings can replace it with a move out of the first round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey | James Gilbert\/GettyImages Huge news in the NFL was revealed earlier this week when\u00a0NFL Media reported\u00a0the Miami Dolphins and cornerback Jalen Ramsey&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
