That is possible, though Khan later indicated he was willing to re-sign Ramsey now as opposed to next year.
But what message does that send?
That offensive players have more value to the team than defensive players?
That guys who never made All Pro or Pro Bowl are valued over guys who have?
That durable players are valued less than injury prone players?
There are any number of messages the team could unwittingly convey with this change, if, in fact they are learning the lessons from the Linder and Bortles deals.
This team was a 3rd and country mile away from booking it's flight to it's first Superbowl. In fairness to Bortles, he played pretty damn good in his first three play-off starts. And maybe the front office thought he was turning the corner having tasted that much success and falling short.
They swung. They missed. They also swung and missed with Brandon Linder so far. They did offer an extension to Yannick. He turned it down. They paid Telvin Smith the year before, he under performed and also quit on his team this year. Myles Jack was offered an extension. He [BLEEP] took it.
What else does the Front Office have to do? They made their offers. They're either accepted or rejected. Again, it's still early. I still think they'll resign Ngakoue at some point. I also think it's likely Fournette is resigned.
But the biggest message I took away from this Ramsey ordeal?
Team first. Not players first. Show that you're a good teammate. Show that you're a high character guy in the locker room. Conduct yourself like a professional on and off the field and stop being a baby back [BLEEP] and maybe, just maybe, you'll get that green that you seek.
When Ramsey takes a [BLEEP] on the Rams after his next 26 games are wrapped up it'll be the ultimate trade for this team. Jalen Ramsey is nothing more than a Cornerback version of T.O. Me, me, me & I, I, I. Guys like that don't stick around on teams for very long. Three years in Jacksonville. Maybe two years in Los Angeles. But he's destined to move again at some point the moment his baby back [BLEEP] [BLEEP] doesn't get his way.
He spit in Khan's face. After he supported him several times publicly. That's a no-no in any Business.
