Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel addresses Jalen Ramsey's absence, ongoing trade pursuit: 'I don't give a s*** what I feel'
Our Summary
The Miami Dolphins have been trying to trade cornerback Jalen Ramsey since April, though he remains with the team but is absent from mandatory minicamp. Head coach Mike McDaniel, unfazed by the delay, emphasized focusing on controllable aspects and handling distractions. Ramsey, acquired from the Rams in March 2023, signed a significant contract extension but saw a decline in his performance last season with career lows in key defensive metrics. Despite not asking for a trade, the decision was mutual. Additionally, tight end Jonnu Smith also missed minicamp without an excused absence, as he seeks a new contract following a standout season.
