Jalen's problem has never been his ability, or even his concept of team. If that were the case, he'd have phoned in the back half of this season or found some way to get put on IR to avoid any long-term injury.

What part of "voluntary" don't they understand? Do you show up at your workplace and put in hours when you aren't paid to do so? Send me your resume, I need all that free work done.

It's not about working for free. It's about setting the example for the team. As the best player or one of the best on the team, your decisions set the tone for everyone below you. If I was in Ramsey's shoes, I'd show up this year. Maybe see if they'd let his dad come down for some of the time. But if he wants this team to be his, he's gotta show everyone who will be there that the big boys will do it too. We lost a lot of that "team" from last year, this year. Losing will do that sometimes. But his presence there could make a big difference.
