Social media speculation continued to soar Saturday morning as soon as soon as soon-to-be former Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey posted an Instagram footage of him playing basketball late Friday at LA Fitness. The location is Southern California, not South Florida.

The past few months have been filled with Ramsey's drama as the veteran defensive back reportedly demanded a trade. Apparently, he is not present in the same time zone as the Dolphin players currently in the organized team activity in Miami Gardens. Even defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver said at the beginning of the OTA that Ramsey and the team “choose each other to go other ways.”

While things like current location and real estate holdings aren't all about predicting where players can trade, the Rams screamed solid sensitivity for several reasons.

First, Ramsey is with them from 2019 to 2022. Ramsey was traded by Miami in 2023 for stealing worthy deals. Dolphins general manager Chris Grier sent out the 2021 third-round pick, 2023 third-round pick and tight-fitting Hunter Long in exchange for Ramsey. Can Ramsey be reunited with the Rams just two years later?

Aside from Los Angeles like the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Commander, there are rumors that multiple teams have participated in the mix, and the Rams' 2026 draft assets may match well with Miami's various draft picks.

It is worth noting that Grier actively traded during the NFL draft in April. When in the fourth round against the Houston Texans, the 2026 third round pick is part of the compensation package. This gives Miami a draft pick in every round and the Dolphins doubled in the third and fourth rounds in next year’s NFL draft.

On the other hand, the Rams have a pair of first-round picks, second- and third-rounders, and evacuated from the fourth-round. Los Angeles also has a one-to-five and two-thirds draft pick and a seventh draft pick. Since Los Angeles has two draft picks in the top 32, if you're Miami, a second-round pick might be attractive because they know they have multiple third-round and fourth-round.

Assuming that Miami seems to do everything possible to trim the salary cap, the Dolphins may need players in exchange for the possibility of Ramsey. A good move could be Miami adds their extra third round pick to Ramsey and then upgrades it to a second. This potential move can both improve Miami's options and save caps. The June 1 deal will put the Dolphins’ salary cap cap of about $9.9 million, but the remaining dead cap just exceeded $6.7 million.

Of course, social media is a place of conjecture, but if history is any guidance, Grier tends to take action before moving. In this case, Grier gathered more 2026 capital from the 2025 NFL Draft before reaching a Ramsey deal. All factors are considered, at least for Los Angeles’ return will make sense for both teams.

In addition, the Dolphins were also in Friday's news cycle, with rumors rumored that Miami is seeking a trading partner, Jonnu Smith, who reportedly asked for a re-creation agreement in hopes of staying in South Florida. In a perfect world, the Dolphins can be able to move Ramsey, upgrade their 2026 Arsenal while leveraging some savings to incorporate into the redesigned Smith deal.
