Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel delivers brutally honest take on star cornerback Jalen Ramsey's trade situation

Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill talks to Fox News Digital at the EA Sports Madden Bowl in New Orleans.

The Miami Dolphins and Jalen Ramsey mutually agreed to explore trade options heading into the 2025 season, but that was almost two months ago. 

While no deal has been made, head coach Mike McDaniel doesn’t seem worried, concerned or any other adjective about Ramsey’s situation. 

"I don’t give a s--- about what I feel," he said when asked his thoughts on the trade dilemma. "I don’t even really go down that road of, ‘How do I feel about it?’ My job is to react and control my controllables and make sure that people are moving in one direction appropriately."

McDaniel spoke during his team’s opening day of mandatory minicamp, where Ramsey wasn’t present, as expected. He has elected to remain away from the Dolphins until his situation is resolved. 

It’s a bit surprising to see the 30-year-old not be dealt over the past two months given he’s on the market. Ramsey is a seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro who continues to play at a high level at the cornerback position.

But when you look at the financials, perhaps it makes sense why the Dolphins remain the team employing Ramsey. 

He signed a three-year, $72.3 million extension just one season ago, meaning teams would have to carry a heavy cap hit to trade for Ramsey, unless some sort of financial package can be reached in the process
