You remember how many teams Deion and Revis played for, right? They may be the two best corners in recent memory, and their loyalty was to the paycheck, not the helmet logo. I definitely see Ramsey playing under a second contract with the franchise, but it is extremely rare in today's game for a player to only suit up for one franchise.

But what were the cap situations like for those teams?
The jests paid Revis until they thought he was no longer worth it (and they were a bad team) so he went about collecting big 1 year deals. But when he left the jests he wasn't the same imo. He had become the 3rd or 4th best CB. "Revis Island" really only existed for like 5 seasons. All in his original stint with his original team.
Deion played for the Falcons on a rookie deal, then got on a one year deal by the 9ers (Monster season alert), then got paid in Dallas who had to cut him due to salary cap, after that he wasn't the same Primetime and only played one year in DC and then came out of retirement to play in Baltimore.
The difference, imo, is the way deals are done and the franchise tag. Free agency is quite a bit different too.
Ramsey can be locked in much more than Primetime was in ATL. We can afford to pay him and if we're winning he'll want to stay. I could see him maybe going to play for the tacks but it'd be much later in his career after we're pretty much done with him (either he is no longer the top CB or our window for SB closed)
