Or did I miss something
Ramsey was out of contract. They could have been negotiating about a possible renewal at the time the list was submitted, same as Ralls and Rhino, but since then it has been decided he is leaving.

Or they could have known that they weren't going to give him a playing contract but could have been talking to him about the manager's job.
