Ugly details emerge around Dolphins decision to trade Jalen Ramsey to Steelers

It did not end well for Jalen Ramsey and the Dolphins.

The Sun-Sentinel reported that Miami was fed up with the veteran cornerback they traded to the Steelers last week after he became disruptive with the team and was hurting the culture the franchise was trying to build.

Ramsey was regularly late to practices and would constantly undermine former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and head coach Mike McDaniel.

Ramsey’s atтιтude reportedly spread to other team members, causing countless problems last season. 

The issues played a big role in the team shipping the 30-year-old to Pittsburgh, along with star тιԍнт end Jonnu Smith, in exchange for Minkah Fitzpatrick. 

The trade not only rid the Dolphins of Ramsey but brought back Fitzpatrick, whom the franchise drafted No. 11 overall in 2018, to help solidify the secondary.

The Steelers now have a veteran to pair with the younger cornerback Joey Porter Jr. and added another pᴀss-catching тιԍнт end in Smith for Aaron Rodgers.

Fitzpatrick returns to the Dolphins after being traded in 2023 due to the organization and the safety having different opinions on how he should be utilized on defense. 

Aside from Ramsey’s rumored atтιтude issues, the trade also relieves the Dolphins of the mᴀssive contract they had given the seven-time Pro Bowler in 2024.

Ramsey is scheduled to make $26.6 million this year, which has mostly been taken off the Dolphins’ books. 

The move comes with the pressure heating up on McDaniel, who missed the playoffs for the first time in three seasons as Dolphins coach in 2024.

The Dolphins, who went 8-9 last season and have not won a playoff game since 2000, enter the season with plenty of questions.

Starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has had multiple concussion issues, while star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has waffled on a trade demand as he seemingly grows frustrated with the franchise amid off-the-field issues.

Hill’s wife accused him of domestic violence and filed for divorce earlier this offseason.
