The longer the offseason goes, the greater the likelihood of there being a rotating door in the Miami Dolphins' cornerback room.
General manager Chris Grier and the Dolphins' front office have been trying to find a new landing spot for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey since April. Should the franchise make such a move, it likely will look elsewhere to replace the talent it lost, whether it be in free agency or in the trade market, rather than head into the 2025 season with the players currently on its roster.
Jaire Alexander, a fellow All-Pro defensive back who was released by the Green Bay Packers on June 9, is widely seen as a potential like-for-like replacement for Ramsey. Bleacher Report's Moe Moton considers Alexander to be among the best players under 30 who remain unsigned.
Moton believes the Dallas Cowboys, who could see Trevon Diggs sidelined for the start of the season, could benefit the most from landing Alexander. But he also lists the Dolphins as an optimal landing spot for the former Green Bay defensive back.

"Alexander suited up for only seven games in both the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. However, he can still perform at a Pro Bowl level when healthy... In his last healthy season in 2022, he logged 14 pass breakups and five interceptions in 16 games," Moton wrote. "If Alexander stays on the field following two injury-riddled seasons, he can be a team's No. 1 cornerback with the ability to also man the slot."
Alexander originally joined the Packers as the No. 18 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Since then, he has appeared in 78 games (including 76 starts), where he has recorded 287 tackles, 12 interceptions, 70 passes defended and 1.5 sacks. He was named to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster and landed a spot on the NFL's All-Pro Second Team in both 2020 and 2022.
