Kinda.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">For basically the entire offseason, Ramsey&#8217;s inevitable departure from Miami has been openly talked about. Things just didn&#8217;t quite work out the way that either side wanted them to, and the Dolphins probably don&#8217;t want to deal with an aging corner on a huge salary as much as Ramsey doesn&#8217;t want to deal with a football team with no obvious direction right now. Sometimes it\u00a0<em>is<\/em>\u00a0just better to be friends.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Among the handful of problems that will come with trading\/releasing Ramsey, one happens to be, you know, who will replace him. The Dolphins&#8217; secondary isn&#8217;t exactly the deepest part of the roster, and things look awfully bleak once Ramsey isn&#8217;t in the picture. But there&#8217;s hope (ish): on Monday morning, the Packers finally got around to releasing Jaire Alexander. It is, potentially, the slightly-underwhelming moment that Dolphins fans have been waiting for.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"h-1 w-full border-0 my-4 bg-lightGrey\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Jaire Alexander could be the perfect replacement for Jalen Ramsey in 2025<\/h2>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1932046899533725735&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fphinphanatic.com%2Fperfect-jalen-ramsey-replacement-just-fell-into-the-dolphins-lap&amp;sessionId=bcb7fab876707fe34be5c322707c8ef3a26b2447&amp;siteScreenName=PhinPhanatic&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1932046899533725735\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\">\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5_slot1\" data-gpid=\"23162276296\/fansided\/nfl\/phinphanatic.com\/inarticle_d#2\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_23162276296\/fansided\/nfl\/phinphanatic.com\/inarticle_d_4__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Broadly speaking, the decision isn&#8217;t complicated: bring in Alexander, let him handle half the field\/the other team&#8217;s WR1, and figure the rest out. It&#8217;s not the worst idea you&#8217;ll see this year (if you don&#8217;t believe me, consider that the Colts are probably going to start Daniel Jones). And because the Packers released Alexander, he won&#8217;t come with the huge price tag that his contract would have otherwise required. So the Dolphins are free to try and justify signing an older, expensive corner once again!<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">And obviously one-for-one swaps like this are rarely as simple as they seem \u2013\u00a0I&#8217;m not sure Alexander&#8217;s going to love the Dolphins&#8217; direction any more than Ramsey did \u2013 but it&#8217;d definitely get a portion of Miami fans off Chris Grier&#8217;s back for, like, a couple hours. Will it happen? I have no idea. Could it happen? I also have no idea. I don&#8217;t really know anything about this, other than it&#8217;s something I&#8217;d try in Madden. But I also lose a lot of M<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are probably worse ideas.
