The Miami Dolphins traded Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers after he expressed discontent, just nine months after his contract extension. In return, Miami acquired former Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Ramsey's salary rose to $26.6 million following the trade, which he announced on social media. Despite the lack of clarity around his motives, Ramsey’s social media hinted at the organizational culture, stating the importance of surrounding oneself with individuals striving for greatness. Dolphins GM Chris Grier suggested the decision was mutual, prioritizing the interests of both parties.
In previous media sessions this spring, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier has characterized Ramsey's departure as a mutual decision. Grier said on April 15 that "we've decided that it was probably in the best interest for all parties to move forward."
The seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback never publicly explained why he wanted out of Miami but gave a strong hint when he posted a photo of rotten oranges on the first night of the NFL Draft, alongside a caption that read as an indictment of the Dolphins organization.
