Yeah.

He's just getting started early on his holdout threats and money schemes. 
Kinda' what you'd expect from a player/personality combo like him. 

I wouldn't put too much stock in it at this point.  Jags currently still have the leverage in that situation.
 I doubt that he and his agent are really trying to move him or plan to holdout in his third year. 
We'll see. A figure a commitment from the team to extend him some time next season is enough to make everybody happy.

Either that - or he holds out in July...

Its very NBA style. Means you get this to be the big story of the Jags offseason and that kinda pressure (especially as the best and biggest personality on the team) is impossible to ignore for the organisation.   

I actually think they are very serious about getting this mega deal done this offseason and will do what they must to get him it, whether its here or elsewhere. Jags have leverage but they lost a portion of it with how bad this season went. 

Ramseys our most important player,  the coaching staff knows that, the team knows it and so do all the fans. If he doesn't get a deal this summer he can make life miserable for the organisation by holding out and refusing to play, in a year where the coaching staff really can't afford any distractions or to be without him.
