Jalen Ramsey says he 'won't ever forgive' former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio for misusing him and Xavien Howard before leaving the Dolphins

After Vic Fangio left the Miami Dolphins for the Philadelphia Eagles, cornerback Jalen Ramsey hinted at the defensive coordinator's effect while South Florida. 

On Friday, the Dolphins informed their longest-tenured player, Xavien Howard, that they plan to cut him. After the news surfaced, Ramsey hailed Howard the 'greatest corner' in franchise history. 

In the same post, Ramsey mentioned how he 'won't ever forgive' an unnamed character for how he misused them in their lone season together. 

'S*** be crazy how stuff plays out sometimes but 1 thing ikno fa sho is that it was an an honor teaming up with the GREATEST corner in Miami Dolphins history in my opinion,' Ramsey captioned a series of pictures with his now-former teammate.

'I won't ever forgive dude for not utilizing our full skillset,' he added. 

A league source informed the Miami Herald that the Dolphins will be parting ways with one of the best players in franchise history. Howard was selected by the Dolphins with the No 38 pick in the 2016 Draft. 

His release gives the Dolphins $18.5 million in cap space, which they can use on June 2 as it is a post-June 1 cut. 

In 2023, the Los Angeles Rams traded Ramsey to Miami in exchange for a third-round draft pick and tight end Hunter long. He appeared in 11 games for the Dolphins this past season while Howard played in 12. 

However, the two cornerbacks only paired up for eight of those games. 

With Howard's exit, cornerbacks Kader Kohou, Cam Smith, Ethan Bonner and Keion Crossen remain under contract for the 2024 season. Still, the Dolphins lack proven players in the position behind Ramsey. 

On the same day, the Dolphins also informed defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah that he is getting released. His departure will save the team about $13.7m in cap space with a pre-June 1 designation.
