We do know that he had a moment with Doug Marrone on the sideline back in week two and from that point forward it seemed like Dough Marrone had already moved beyond that and accepted it for what it was. Maybe Jalen Ramsey was told to be more professional. And it rubbed him the wrong way. We won't know for awhile more than likely. 

Jalen Ramsey then goes onto draw out his back injury, which he was medically cleared for a week ago and he chose to draw it out further. This is after Shad Khan publicly came out and supported the kid. Willing to put his money where his mouth was. Shad Khan then publicly states he felt Jalen Ramsey would have been playing against the Saints. That didn't happen. 

You can finger point at this person or that person. But it ultimately fell on the fact that Jalen Ramsey was no longer interested in suiting up for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was only interested in getting out of here one way or another. It worked for him. The Jaguars had to do what was best for them. Gaining a pair of first round pick's for next year's draft and 2021's draft and avoiding a tremendous cap hit at a position that would have cost them more down the road roster wise. 

We all knew this was going to be the outcome. And instead of being a fan of one PLAYER we should all be fans of one TEAM. Doesn't matter anymore. The trade is over with and done. And this is exactly what the player wanted. I will not say that this front office doesn't deserve some of the heat for causing some of this friction. But to say that Jalen Ramsey didn't play a role in all of this is also way out of bounds. Because he did. If anything, he went more out of his way to hurt his teammates than the front office did. 

Ngakoue can still be extended at some point. We don't know if they're going to cut ties with Dareus and Campbell after this year is over. That's all anyone's guess. But I also don't feel like this team is in rebuild mode. This isn't four years ago where the team was getting blown the [BLEEP] out by 21+ points per game. They were in two competitive games against two competitive NFC teams that have better rosters overall with more experienced coaches primed to get them into a Superbowl game this year. 

This team has shown a lot of [BLEEP] moxie in spite of losing Foles within a few offensive series on offense, Ramsey being a baby back [BLEEP] about his situation here, Smith getting his "life in order" in the off season after being awarded a nice contract the year before along with a new offensive coordinator in place and a 6th RD rookie QB trying to do his best out there. 

All I see on here is doom and gloom from posters who are normally pretty damn open minded and positive. But to freak out this much over this me, me, me and I, I, I diva at the CB position is truly dumbfounding. It's a team ladies and gentleman. If you want to root for just the players then stick to Fantasy Football. We'll be fine with or without divas like Jalen Ramsey. And we'll certainly be fine with or without his jockey riders on here. 

I would understand all of this if i knew you had inside connections that were letting you know the facts.  The real fact is you have zero idea and are speculating about what caused the situation and the outcome that followed it.  This FO has shown us that it has little to no idea about what to do with ascending talent and the FA acquisitions from other teams are the best thing going for them.  Giving them draft capital is a slap in the face when the one player that was actually a win for them just got traded away.  Thats like defending the captain of the titanic while the ship is clearly sinking. 


1. We dont know what the staff will be 
2. We know we are in cap hell unless we release some players 
3. We will then have more holes to fill
4. We arent that great at 1st round drafting
5. We only have late round hope if we even get a decent player
6. We paid for a QB who didnt prove anything more than a few streaky wins that got him a ring on a talented team
7. We have to sure up the line, TE, and RB positions

I mean you can say we arent in rebuild mode but i beg to differ.  We can ride this wave of mediocrity and hope for the best, but unless we hit on these picks in the future we are screwed.  I'm happy you felt the need to say screw the fan base that doesn't agree with you while also bashing a player for doing the same thing to the team.  Shows true intelligence.

Of course he plays next week which he was going to if he stayed here as well.  Are people just that stuck up the "behind" that they make this stuff up to feel better?  Don't be dumb while trying to pick on someone else.

You must have connections as well with inside information.  Please share.
