Dolphins predicted to send $72 million veteran to Bears in shocking three team trade

Jalen Ramsey has been a major topic of discussion for the Miami Dolphins ever since it was announced he would be dealt at some point this offseason. Yet, here we are in July, and no deal has been made. ESPN’s Adam Schefter still believes a trade will happen before training camp begins.

“Jalen Ramsey will get traded. It'll be, I would expect before the start of training camp. We'll see how it shakes out, where he goes,” Schefter said.

The expected trade stems from a reportedly broken relationship between Ramsey and head coach Mike McDaniel.

“The broken relationship between Jalen Ramsey and McDaniel is why he’s on the trade block,” said an anonymous scout. “No one has been able to explain what happened, but I was told this actually has nothing to do with money. It’s a vote of no confidence in McDaniel. If the Ramsey trade goes down, this is a huge talent drain in the secondary.”

However, teams are reportedly hesitant to make a move due to Ramsey’s hefty contract, which guarantees him $24 million this season. While Ramsey wants out of Miami, it appears the Dolphins feel the same. Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski proposed a potential three-team trade that could make it happen.

“Dolphins Get: CB Greg Newsome II. Bears Get: CB Jalen Ramsey. Browns Get: OT Braxton Jones,” Sobleski wrote.

“Maps indicate Chicago is, in fact, not on the West Coast. However, the Bears could use a player of Ramsey's caliber to line up opposite Jaylon Johnson and give the team a strong pair of coverage options to go along with an aggressive defensive front, especially after the free-agent additions of Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo. A season ago, Chicago finished 16th in pass defense,” Sobleski added.

As for Greg Newsome going to Miami, he’s entering the final year of his contract — a benefit for the Dolphins, who are expected to face serious cap issues next season. If the fit isn’t right, Newsome could be gone in a year.

For Ramsey, joining the Bears would place him on a team poised for a playoff push. His presence could help form one of the most dangerous secondaries in the stacked NFC North.
