\"DolphinsThe\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0aren\u2019t exactly hiding their interest in moving on from Jalen Ramsey.<\/p>\n

Ramsey is set to carry a\u00a0$16.6 million cap hit\u00a0in 2025 and is owed $24.1 million. If Miami finds a trade partner, the hope would be that the acquiring team takes on a significant portion of that contract.<\/p>\n

Of course, if a deal does happen, the Dolphins would be left with an even thinner secondary \u2014 a concern for a team with playoff ambitions.<\/p>\n

To help address that potential void,\u00a0Pro Football Focus’\u00a0Mason Cameron\u00a0believes Miami could look toward free agency, specifically at Buffalo Bills cornerback Rasul Douglas.<\/p>\n

\u201cRumors of a Jalen Ramsey trade this summer create a dire need for starting-caliber cornerbacks in Miami,\u201d Cameron wrote. \u201cWhile the sample is small, the Dolphins posted just a 53.6 PFF coverage grade without Ramsey on the field in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cRasul Douglas may be a name to target in Miami\u2019s Cover 2-heavy scheme (19.7%, third in NFL), a coverage he excelled in last season, having earned a 74.4 PFF coverage grade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, the\u00a0numbers\u00a0don\u2019t exactly scream excitement for Dolphins fans. In 15 games last season, Douglas failed to record an interception and allowed a 72.9% completion rate and a 122.0 passer rating, along with five passes defended.<\/p>\n

At the very least, Douglas would provide a veteran presence to a young group. He\u2019s played eight seasons in the NFL and has experience in multiple defensive systems.<\/p>\n

Douglas currently holds a\u00a0market value\u00a0of $11.9 million, per Spotrac. The Dolphins, meanwhile, rank\u00a024th in the league\u00a0in available cap space, sitting at $17.6 million.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
