 Interesting still that Ramsey's teammates are on record as hoping Ramsey stays.  Even more conspicuous are the reports that indicate most teams made an inquiry as to Ramsey's availability, and as many as six different teams are making serious inquiries about him, even after the reports of the team wanting at least two first round picks for him.


The only people who don't know Ramsey's value as a player are fans here on the message board seemingly looking for reasons to have an axe to grind.

I don't think I've read anyone say they don't value Ramsey as a player. He's elite. The question for the franchise is if they want to deal with his drama queen personality. Andre Rison had a similar personality back in the day, wanted to free lance on the field, etc. Letting him go allowed the team's offensive chemistry to gel.

You know who didn't care about Andre Rison's "drama queen personality?"

Mike Holmgrem the head coach of the eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, who signed Rison almost immediately after the Jaguars cut him.

Rison caught a TD pass in the Super Bowl that year-XXXI

You know who doesn't care about Ramsey's so called "drama queen personality?"

If we are to take the words and actions of the principals at face value, Jaguars' owner Shad Khan, Jaguars coach Doug Marrone, Ramsey's teammates (including Calais Campbell) ,and the coaches and front offices of the six or so teams reported to have serious interest in trading for Ramsey even after the team said they wanted two first round picks, and after all of the reports of whatever minor off field stuff that cause you to ascribe a "drama queen personality" to Ramsey.

The only people who care about Ramsey's so called drama queen personality are posting on message boards.

Ultimately, your explanation doesn't change the dynamic.  Those harping on the drama queen stuff don't understand Ramsey's value as a player.  You just identified the thing that obscures the understanding of Ramsey's value.
