  He will cost the Rams more games in the future.  Jalen is good but he definitely isnt a top 3 corner in this league.

It was money but when we started the rebuild what was rhe common goal for everyone and for the team. Lockdown the cornerstones, young talent,  which was Yan, Myles & Ramsey, the front office had the opp to do it but did not. Yan & Ramsey were producing at damn near elite levels in their 2nd year, they did not get rewarded. Who ended up getting a reward? Bortles who played mediocre and Myles Jack who did not play to the level of Yan and Jalen. If you were the GM would you have not resigned both of those players and already lock them up?

As far as up losing games, by that time the team was disgruntled and we weren't even sure who our qb was. As far as him being top 3 corner, I think you are being biased because he dislike Jalen but will see this year when he is settled with a contract (that he worked for and has to be worth if someoneone paid it. I bet you no one would pay Tre Herndon any where near that.) When Jalen is on his game, he is a different type of animal, generational talent you gotta keep it real.
These players are kids and gm/coaches get paid to get the best out players with that type of talent, not just let him go and think it will be easy to replace him

He is probably the most talented corner but not the best. I doubt his work ethic honestly and he doesnt even go to training camp with the team and the last few years his play has showed on the field for it imo compared to when he did before the 2017 season when one could argue he was the best corner in the league.  I would take Gilmore, White, Hayward, and Humphrey over him. Peters played better than Ramsey did last year after Rams traded him and traded for Ramsey.  Sherman is also a better corner but he is getting up there in age.  Id put Ramsey next on the list.  To answer the question no I wouldnt of extended Ramsey as early as he wanted the deal and as much as he wanted and it turned out the right decision.  We tried to sign Yan but he overvalued himself as he had one of the worst agents in sports, which why Yan fired him. I think A Rob is the one we really messed up on but he was coming off an ACL tear, I still wish we would of gave him a nice contract though. The Bortles contract was def a mistake and we will find out this year if the Jack one was or not when he plays his natural position.
