Jalen Ramsey trade not imminent for Jaguars
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001...or-jaguars
Per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Jacksonville Jaguars have no deal in place to trade star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The two-time Pro Bowler requested a trade earlier in the week.
Looks like he's here to stay. Do the right thing, make him the highest paid cornerback.
But has they changed his mind? Does he want to stay? That’s the only question that matters

What if he don't want to stay??? Too bad, he has a contract he must honor. Only option is to pull a Telvin Smith. I don't see that happening, he has the drive to be the best. Now after this contract if they don't pay him ..say by this next off season then i bet he don't want to be here..
If the Ravens offer of a late 1st round pick, late 2nd round pick(likely), and a mediocre tight end was the best offer I am glad they passed. Ramsey is an elite player so you just don't give him away for peanuts. If a fair offer does not come through then the front end needs to try to repair the relationship.
If we don't get the right price, we shouldn't trade him. Some teams will get more desperate though, closer to the trade deadline in October. Right now, it's very early in the season. Maybe when Jalen sees that no team is yet willing to pony up two 1st rounders for him, he'll be a little humbled, step up his game and work hard to show he's worth that and we'll get a deal done in a few weeks. Until then, keep playing him.

We shouldn't trade him even IF we got the right price.. I'd rather have Ramsey than 2 firsts..
Has anyone tried to trade for Ramsey using picks on Madden? I have a feeling 2 1sts doesn't register very high there either.

Ramsey actually would do that if he wasn't happy and the Jags don't trade him. While he wants to get paid, he isn't all about money. He wants to be the best, but if he isn't getting respect he feels he deserves, he would potentially walk away.

You would have to edit his stats to make him 99 overall or at least enough to make him the highest rated cornerback. Then try trading him.

Call his bluff. The team holds the cards. Shad has said he will pay him. Offer him the big contract. If he walks away and retires, let him. We keep his rights regardless.
I'd just like to know what disrespectful things were said to Ramsey from the FO..
NEVER trade good players in their prime. Khan needs to override Coughlin or whoever is making these dumb decisions to play Fournette all game long or let Ramsey get traded. Don't Jagwire this up please we might actually have a QB.

Likely nothing that he didn't have coming, but you've got two people who are the exact polar opposite of one another here.
Coughlin (old school authoritarian) -------------------------------------------------------- Ramsey (entitled millennial)
Nothing that either says is going to translate easily to the other. This isn't a slight against Ramsey, it's just recognizing that because of his talent and dedication to craft, many ways have been paved for him since college signing day. He hadn't faced much blowback when he pulled some diva [BLEEP] until Coughlin came to town. Those two are likely like oil and water when it comes to sorting this thing out.

I just figure it was some old man [BLEEP].. Called him "youngin" or "junior" or something of the kind..

Ramsey still wants out, if Ramsey does not show up for practice, now what?
You still don't trade him, and prepare to play without him. Him deciding to not show up is just going to hurt his value...... Let him do that. Next several games are winnable even without him. Jags should stick to their multiple first rounders demand, while publicly continuing to try and repair the relationship.

After Brown's nonsense and antics. And, of course I understand Ramsey doesn't have the same issues off the field, etc.
I don't see the NFL kissing these diva's [BLEEP] for that much longer. If Ramsey does decide to miss meetings and practices it'll just be a bad move on his end.
You don't punish your teammates who have all played a role in elevating his level of play and value. It's a two way street. The lockeroom seems to love him. I don't see him compromising that.
I honestly don't see Ramsey sinking that far though. I think he's too stubborn for his own good. But the kid can play. And he'll keep playing until he's extended and the heartburn is resolved or until he's traded.
