ESPN's Jeremy Fowler recently disclosed his belief that the Miami Dolphins could be trading away a key piece who used to play ball for the Seminoles.
With the Post-June 1 period upon us, teams will be shopping some of their players who recently (until now) brought more of a cap hit to their payroll. This makes franchises more eager to cut and sign players.
Who, then, are the Miami Dolphins potentially looking to get rid of? Former Florida State cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
Ramsey spent the last two seasons with the Dolphins, playing in 27 games and recording five interceptions, 16 passes defended, one sack, and six tackles for loss.
In April, NFL Network reported that the Dolphins would shop the former FSU CB after June 1 in the trade market.
However, ESPN's Fowler has added the notion that the Dolphins will end up keeping star wide receiver Tyreek Hill despite him not appearing to be on the same page with the franchise at times.
Fowler said:
"I would be mildly surprised [if the Dolphins move on from Hill], where Ramsey, you hear a lot about his trade market. You're not hearing a ton about Tyreek Hill, but now that it is in early June, the Dolphins can save about $15 million on their cap if they were to trade him. So maybe it makes it enticing, given the problems he had there last year. There would be a market if they looked heavily into this, he's still considered a top-three wide receiver for most of the teams I talked to, but he's saying all the right things publicly. It seems like he wants to be back in Miami."
"I expect that they can work something out, so probably Ramsey gone, Hill stays."
Be on the lookout for a team in need of cornerback help to make a move on Ramsey.

'He Should Get One': Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger Clamors For A New Contract For Key Piece In Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the more bizarre teams heading into the 2025 NFL season. The team has a ton of new pieces, so it is hard to determine just how well it will perform. On paper, the team should be one of the better groups in the AFC, but it will be interesting to watch how everyone ingratiates themselves into the organization, and whether or not the execution is where it needs to be. Regardless of what happens, there are a ton of reasons for excitement in Pittsburgh. The main reason for excitement in Pittsburgh is the new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. There are some other important pieces as well, including DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey. Jonnu Smith is also a new factor on the offense that could play a key role. Former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was discussing all of the reasons to be excited about the Steelers on the most recent episode of Footbahlin With Ben Roethlisberger. He mentioned the new additions, but he also spoke about the overshadowed special teams unit, including Chris Boswell. "I'd say the best kicker in the game, [Chris] Boswell," Roethlisberger said. "Special teams, that gets overlooked so much. You know, we talk about offense, defense, talk about Aaron, talk about TJ [Watt], we talk about all this stuff. What about the best kicker in the game? I know he's not up for a new contract, he should get one. They should actually probably make him the highest-paid kicker if he's not already. So, Omar [Khan], the Khan-Man, should get that done." Boswell signed his most recent extension with the Steelers back ahead of the 2022 season. He signed a four-year deal worth $20 million that runs through the 2026 season. He could be extended now, but Pittsburgh usually waits until before the final year of the contract to get a new extension done. He has been one of the best kickers in the league since joining the Steelers back in 2015, and Roethlisberger thinks he has earned a new deal. In terms of average annual value, Boswell is currently the NFL's 11th highest-paid kicker. He is one of the most efficient and reliable players at the position in the league, and Roethlisberger believes he needs to be at the top of that list. A new contract would likely result in the kicker becoming the highest-paid in the NFL, as he deserves it based on nearly every metric. Boswell led the NFL in field goals made during the 2024 season, and he went 13 of 15 from past 50 yards. His accuracy is unmatched, and he is coming off of his first All-Pro season in 2024. He was often overshadowed in the AFC due to Justin Tucker, but Tucker's career has seemed to fall apart after some off the field issues came to light during the 2025 offseason. Tucker also had one of the worst seasons of his career in 2024, which allowed Boswell to take the title of being the best kicker in the league. Steelers' Chris Boswell Is Searching For More Playoff Success When fans talk about the longest-tenured players on the Steelers, the first name that is always mentioned is Cam Heyward. Rightfully so, but Boswell has also been around Pittsburgh for a long time. He joined the team during the 2015 season, and he immediately solidified himself as the organization's kicker. There have been multiple instances where Pittsburgh has won contests with the only scoring coming from the leg of Boswell, but hopefully the offense can take a step forward in 2025 to take some pressure off of the kicker. Boswell has won in the playoffs with Pittsburgh before, and he is trying to get back to that point in 2025. Would you like to see Boswell get a new deal?
How NBA Executives Feel About Josh Giddey's Upcoming Bulls Contract
Last season, Josh Giddey took a big leap after being traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder. With the Chicago Bulls, the Australian point guard was instrumental in getting them to the Play-In Tournament, going 39-43. The No. 10 seed was somewhat expected, but the record was better than people anticipated. Giddey averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game, taking his offense to another level. His shooting splits improved as well, and his overall leap has resulted in the 22-year-old asking for big money amid restricted free agency. Still unsigned, Giddey is reportedly desiring at least $8 million more than what the Bulls are currently offering. In a recent article from Fred Katz and Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic, NBA executives gave their thoughts on what they think Giddey is worth and the overall contract dispute. One executive believed $100 million over four years was fair. “Giddey is the anomaly because he might be good enough to be a four-year player,” the executive said. “Nobody wants to go with long-term contracts because everybody wants this idea of flexibility. You wanna have the ability to (say), ‘You know what? My team’s not very good. Let’s pivot.’” Some other executives proposed three-year deals, ranging from $54 million to $75 million in total money. Cap space around the NBA has become extremely limited, and Chicago may not be willing to make such a long-term commitment to the former lottery pick. One person polled cited the Patrick Williams contract as a reference point for the Bulls. “Chicago gave (Williams) five years, $90 million with a player option,” the executive said. “He didn’t show much and got that deal entirely based on them drafting him top five and (his) perceived potential.”

Green Bay Packers: Players Rally Around Teammate After Matt LaFleur Outburst
The Green Bay Packers are nearly a week into their training camp, but it feels as though they have been doing it for much longer than that. News about aggressive and physical play on the field has been coming out consistently from the Packers camp. Take for example cornerback Nate Hobbs, who has already been talked into toning it down with his tenacity. On Tuesday, it was left tackle Rasheed Walker who turned heads with his physicality. Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reported that Walker was ordered by a seemingly angry Matt LaFleur to run a lap as punishiment for something he did to defensive end Kingsley Enagbare. It was also supposed to be just Walker doing the punishment, but some of his teammates joined him as well in a show of camaraderie. Via Schneidman: Matt LaFleur is furious at Rasheed Walker. Ordered him to take a lap and threw an expletive in there. Walker did something to Enagbare and got booted. Didn’t see what exactly. Kraft, Rhyan, Tom, Jacobs, Morgan and Jenkins ran the lap with Walker in support. Green Bay Packers players show support for Walker amid punishment Right tackle Zach Tom later spoke out about why he and the others ran with Walker even if they did not have to. That’s never happened before,” Tom said, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN. “I haven’t seen something like that since high school. We didn’t want him to go around alone, so we’re just like let’s join him. Obviously we have his back.” Demovsky also noted that LaFleur went on an “expletive-laced speech” after practice just to further hammer his point about keeping things clean on the field. LaFleur simply wanted to send a message about being careful during training camp. An injury is the last thing the Packers would want to see themselves go through, especially before the 2025 NFL season could even start.
NFL insider shares worrisome update on Micah Parsons' contract dispute with Cowboys
With a new NFL season comes another contract dispute between Jerry Jones and one of the Dallas Cowboys' star players. In 2019, it was running back Ezekiel Elliott. Then there was quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb in 2024, and now it's defensive end Micah Parsons in 2025. Those first three all got their wish and received massive paydays without missing any game action, which has many believing that the same movie will play out with Parsons. However, in the moment, Parsons and the Cowboys don't seem to be aligned in their thinking, and that has only been magnified by ESPN insider Adam Schefter's latest update on the situation. "I would say right now we're nowhere on that deal. I would say right now we are further away from a deal in late July/early August than we were in late March/early April. The two sides have gone backwards, not forwards. I don't think they're speaking very much these days, if at all," Schefter said. "This sounds different to me. This sounds a little bit more personal from both sides. It sounds like Dallas is upset with the fact that it felt like it was getting closer to a deal, and then that deal went sideways. And I think Micah Parsons feels like this deal should've been done. I don't think Micah is real happy with them; I don't think they're real happy with him. I don't think anybody is real happy with anybody. And I don't think there's a deal that's being discussed right now, not to mention being close," Schefter added. Certainly not the update Cowboys fans were hoping to hear on Tuesday afternoon. As we know, Parsons is entering the final season of his rookie contract on a fifth-year player option, which Dallas exercised in April of 2024. The superstar pass rusher is set to earn just over $24 million in 2025-26. The 26-year-old has been participating in Cowboys training camp, though he has voiced his displeasure with the current state of contract negotiations both in interviews and on social media. Parsons is one of, if not the best, pass rushers in football, having racked up 12-plus sacks in all four seasons to begin his NFL career. His combination of strength, speed and pure athleticism is a nightmare for opposing offenses, and you can understand why he wants to be paid for it. There's no doubt that the recent deals signed by defensive end Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns and outside linebacker T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers added fuel to the fire for Parsons. Garrett and Watt will both make over $40 million per season moving forward while already being 30 and 31 years old, respectively. Expectations should remain that Jerry Jones will eventually pony up and pay his franchise player, but reports like these definitely don't help anyone in this situation.
