Ramsey basically didn't have "leverage" in terms of the Jaguars possessing the ability to exercise the 5th year option and a couple of years of franchise tagging - but he still leveraged himself off of this team through his disappointing behavior/actions.

I understand that this was probably the best case scenario to occur for the Jaguars, but what's to stop another new-gen ego stomping his feet and throwing a tantrum to get on a team he really wanted? I say this as someone who is still in their late 20s btw...

Honestly it just makes the NFL even more a game of replacement for the most part. Was Jalen really worth 100 million over 6 years? How long into that contract before he demands another? Jalen was going to cont being a problem as long as he was here. This scenario is probably for the best long term.

Jalen is a damn quitter and this has nothing to do with "culture"..  He played in a damn AFCC game just a couple of years ago (A helleva lot more than AJ and other players ever got here) and his team was tied for the lead in this division just a couple of weeks ago while he was helping cost your team games, because he quit.

The guy has been dropping hints of leaving since day 1.. he's a quitter so F him, y'all will be better off for this in the long run.. don't need guys like that infecting your lockeroom.

Agreed completely CB
