The Dolphins are offically at the Crossroads right now

[CF DolFan]

I'm guessing Ramsey wants a new deal as his guaranteed money runs out this year. The Dolphins need to be working out a new deal with Seiler before they resign anyone else. That guy is way underpaid. I think I heard he is 32nd in salary among starting defensive tackles.

I don't think they can trade him before June 1st because of the cap.

Looks like we'll be drafting another CB in the 1st round now. Prove me wrong Grier.

Grier indicated it was the Dolphins who instigated this, and Ramsey had not asked to be traded.

There's now been some further speculation that it may be some kind of discipline issue - that could possibly stretch back to last season when it was rumored he was one of the players consistently fined for not showing up to practice/meetings on time. Just rumors though.

Who knows? Maybe it is related to wanting more guaranteed money, and after being burned by Tyreek, we've finally had enough of this? Or maybe Weaver discovered Ramsey is nowhere near as good as he thought he was going to be, and not worth putting up with?

Grier was an absolute joke in that press conference. All he did was piss off most of the writers and fans. Even if Grier wasn't lying about that, it's a horrible look. He gave the guy a bunch more money last year for no reason and now is trading him away? That would be so stupid if true. We got Ramsey for a 5th and a TE we didn't care about. It isn't like he is worth more now.

We gave more money to Tua, Hill, Ramsey, McDaniel, and Grier and yet none of that seems to make the team any better. Grier is a nice guy who really sucks at his job.

"I find this stunning, but if Ramsey is traded for a 2025 draft pick -- both sides are trying to get a deal done -- then Miami will be allocating 17% of its valuable 2025 cap space simply on three cornerbacks who won't be on the team (a combined $46.3M). Sobering, indeed."

So that would potentially be dead cap amounts in 2025 of $25.2M for Ramsey, $15.7M for X, and $5.4M for Kendall Fuller. Unbelievable.

According to an online poll conducted by Joe Schad, 91% of Dolphins fans have "Low or Very Low" confidence in what the Dolphins are doing. 2,583 responded to the poll on X.

I would have voted Low myself.

Very Good - 3%
Good - 6%
Low - 30%
Very Low - 61%

Yeah, it doesn't seem to make much sense. We currently only have around $16.5M in cap space right now.

I read earlier that (like Tyreek) the guaranteed money aspect made him un-tradeable before June 1st.

Yeah, that interview was a train wreck.

He was asked who the leaders were within the current squad now with Campbell and Armstead (now possibly Ramsey) gone?

"I do think in-house, Zach Sieler - just to name a few - you can say Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Alec Ingold, [and] Austin Jackson."

WTF? Hill? Seriously? After everything that's gone down in the last 12 months? 

Also worryingly... no mention of Tua as one of the leaders moving forward. As wild as this sounds, could Tua possibly be up for trade as well?

Trading Tau frees up cap space.  He also didn't mention J Phillips who also frees up cap space

[Pappy13]

I think you are reading too much into this stuff, Tua and Philips aren't going anywhere. Now maybe they are not considered leaders, yeah I can see that, but that doesn't mean they are being moved.

Same things goes for Tyreek. Some of you are acting like Tyreek has been an altar boy prior to the last 12 months. Nothing could be further from the truth. He is who he is. Not wanting to play in the last game of the year came out of nowhere a bit and that was a horrible look, but I think that's just his competitive nature and being really upset about not making the playoffs. No, you don't want players to react that way but players sometimes lose sight of what's important and say or do something stupid in the heat of the moment. That's all it was. He was back in the fold the next day. The off the field stuff is just background noise that comes with a player like him.
