Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey called out for alleged disruptive behavior with Dolphins
According to Sun Sentinel writer Dave Hyde, there were specific behavioral issues from Ramsey that pushed the Dolphins to their breaking point:
'Let's start here: The Miami Dolphins won't miss cornerback Jalen Ramsey," Hyde said. "They won't miss him regularly showing up for practice as the rest of the team was in the middle of stretching. They won't miss how he constantly undermined defensive coordinator Vic Fangio two years ago and coach Mike McDaniel last season in a manner that spread like a bad odor through the larger team.'
Yikes. These behavior concerns, if true, seem eerily similar to those of former Steelers wideout George Pickens — whose punctuality and immaturity made headlines more often than not last season.
One could argue that both Ramsey and the Dolphins were ready for a change of scenery — but the same can't be said for now-former Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, whose leadership in Pittsburgh will be difficult to replicate.
It's worth noting that there are always two sides to every story — as Steelers legends have been extremely welcoming of Ramsey, who's ready to make his stamp on the Steel City-brand of football.

Texas A&M lands commitment from the 2025 Big West Field Player of the Year
Texas A&M head coach Michael Earley is heading west to pick up a talented infielder out of Southern California. On Monday night, Maddox Latta confirmed via social media that he will be transferring to A&M. Latta should be an intriguing addition to the Aggie infield, where every spot is up for grabs—except third base, which is expected to be manned by Gavin Grahovac. 'Should be' is the operative phrase, though, as college baseball's schedule often clashes with the MLB draft. Just like Aggie fans had to wait for Ryan Prager's post-draft decision last season, the same uncertainty surrounds Latta. If he does make it onto campus, he brings immediate offensive output and speed on the basepaths. Last season, Latta started 53 of 56 games and posted a .978 fielding percentage, nearly perfect through the back half of the year. It was also his breakout year offensively, slashing .362/.486/.503—a significant leap from the prior season. His performance earned him 2025 All-Big West First Team honors, the Big West Field Player of the Year award, and a spot as a Brooks Wallace Award semifinalist. Latta would be a fantastic addition to the lineup, but Coach Earley and his staff will have to wait until after the 2025 MLB Draft for his official decision.

Caitlin Clark crosses important injury recovery milestone
After missing her fifth consecutive game with a left groin injury and her 10th game overall this season, Caitlin Clark crossed an important milestone in her recovery as she works towards potentially returning to action for the Indiana Fever. During the star guard's five-game absence, the Fever have gone 3-2, with three impressive wins over Dallas, Las Vegas and Minnesota in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup championship game. Unfortunately, both losses have come at home against the lowly Los Angeles Sparks, who exposed Indiana's lack of scoring depth without Clark on the court. With Indiana enjoying a few days of rest and preparation before their next game on Wednesday, June 9, Clark gave fans optimism Monday afternoon as she played through a 5-on-5 practice session in front of Fever season-ticket holders. Following the practice session, head coach Stephanie White shared her opinion on Clark's recovery status, stating that the 5-on-5 drill allowed her to see how the franchise cornerstone guard performs in game situations and that the team will have a better idea tomorrow. "I hope so. I think just the same return to play structure that we have is that she gets to do a little bit more, and then we see tomorrow. Is there progress or is there any regression? How does she feel? How does she look? What does recovery look like? And so this was really the first time we've been able to get her out as a live action, so we'll see what it brings tomorrow," White said. White also provided her assessment of Aari McDonald's pairing at guard alongside Clark by saying the former Arizona Wildcat allows for more off-ball action from Clark and gives the team different looks on offense when the Hawkeyes legend needs a breather. "I think it'll be really good for us to be able to get C [Caitlin Clark] off the ball a little bit more in certain situations and playing on the floor with Aari [McDonald] gives her an opportunity to do that. I think we can give her a break. I think we can give her and our team different looks when that happens. So this is really the first time that we've been able to practice that. So I look forward to exploring that a little bit more," White said. While the successful practice session and confidence from coach White does not necessarily give an automatic seal of approval for Clark to make her return on Wednesday, it is a significant milestone moment for her recovery nonetheless. The Fever welcome former Hawkeye Kate Martin and the Golden State Valkyries to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday morning, with the game beginning at 11 a.m. CT and broadcasting on NBA TV.

Dolphins Expected to Make Strange Free Agent Decision After Jalen Ramsey Trade
Dolphins Expected to Make Strange Free Agent Decision After Jalen Ramsey Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Miami Dolphins made some moves to end June and kick off July, as they finally traded away Jalen Ramsey, their All-Pro cornerback. Jonnu Smith was also included in the deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Advertisement Miami's trade opened two holes at cornerback and tight end. They swung a wild deal for retired tight end Darren Waller, leaving their cornerback room as the only area needed to address. But, according to a report from Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald, the Dolphins are planning to be stingy with their money. Despite losing Ramsey, they aren't expected to be more aggressive in the free agent market. "With at least one veteran cornerback of interest to Miami," Jackson reported, "There has been no renewed push to offer more money this week. Miami clearly wants someone at their preferred $$$ amount." Advertisement It's all thanks to the misses at cornerback over the years. Ramsey didn't quite live up to the hype in Miami, and he's far from the only cornerback to struggle in Miami after a significant investment. Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel watches warm-ups before the game between the Cleveland Browns and the Dolphins at Huntington Bank Blaze-Imagn Images Xavien Howard and Byron Jones were both major disappointments in Miami. Combined with this Ramsey disaster, the Dolphins' front office no longer intends to open the wallet for a top cornerback. The Dolphins won't open the wallet for a cornerback, nor will they spend lavishly on the position. It's a glaring need for the team, especially after trading Ramsey, yet they aren't planning to address it. This is a worrying report from Jackson. While the Dolphins are looking to add a cornerback, they aren't pursuing an addition aggressively. Despite the dire need, the Dolphins aren't planning to invest money in a free agent cornerback this offseason.
