Jalen Ramsey’s future with the Dolphins doesn’t concern Mike McDaniel.

Miami and the star cornerback have been mutually exploring trade options for nearly two months now, yet no deal has been made. Is McDaniel surprised?

The Dolphins head coach mentioned that he doesn’t care much about his feelings. He emphasized that he focuses on reacting, controlling what he can control, and ensuring that everyone is aligned and moving in the right direction.

McDaniel is looking to work with what he’s got, and seemingly any matters regarding roster construction hold no importance to him.

Miami’s mandatory minicamp began Tuesday and it’s been reported that Ramsey was a no-show — electing to stay away from the team until the situation is resolved.

The 30-year-old is a seven-time Pro Bowler, three-time All Pro selection and won the Super Bowl with the Rams in 2022.

He’s a season removed from signing a three-year, $72.3 million extension with the Dolphins, so any team who may be interested in acquiring his talents will take on a serious cap hit.

Warning: Graphic Language

As for McDaniel, it’s now his fourth year on the job as head coach. He led Miami to a 9-8 record in his first season and 11-6 in the next before declining to an 8-9 record this past season.

No matter the roster or the moves the front office makes, this season could be make or break for McDaniel — and he’s hoping that the team responds strongly to the circumstances.

“The business is business — the opportunity that business does provide in the offseason is a rep to the team about handling noise,” he said. “Noise is [something] that don’t have to do with what actually you’re there to do … Business and offseasons allow you to speak to your team about how the focus of noise is a constant battle that, [to be] successful, you have to win.”
