Dolphins

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel had a blunt response when reporters asked him about CB Jalen Ramsey remaining on the team’s roster, citing the league as a business and anything outside of building the team being a distraction.

“We are focused on building the Dolphins today. Anything outside of that, any sort of distractions, I’m not focused on,” McDaniel said, via Shane Shoemaker of the Sporting News. “Personally, I don’t give a shit about what I feel. I don’t even really go down that road of how I feel about it. My job is to react and control my controllables and make sure that people are moving in one direction appropriately. Business is business.”
