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.

So as a GM, you would lock down a top 5 cb given his age, potential and the fact that we drafted him, and I believe we could have given him a smaller deal then he is getting now because they all wanted to be with the team. We could have got a deal done with Yan but they cut off negotiations which then turned it into to a Ramsey like situation. 

We could have front loaded Ramsey and Yan contract still been able to pickup pieces to go with our young talent. 
it doesn't make sense to keep giving up young talent and having to restart at the same positions that we were set at.

Imagine still having A-Rob, Yan, Ramsey, Fowler, J Allen, Fournette, Myles and just working in other talent. We would be contending for years to come instead we are in a rebuild. Bottom line, Ramsey is the highest paid CB for a reason and we suck again. Give Jalen his respect he did was he wqs supposed to do here out front office just felt like he wasn't worth it. They don't feel anyone is worth besides Bortles or Foles.

The problem is that in the 2021 draft, as it stands now, they only have a 2nd rounder, 3rd rounder, 6th rounder and 7th round picks. Their gonna have to hit on almost every one to replace the starters they will lose. They should be awarded at least one compensatory pick for the loss of Dante Fowler Jr. too. That team has painted themselves into a corner by trading away so many picks and awarding such huge contracts.

They were trying to win. Would rather make it to the super bowl or continue to be 7-9 8-8 every year with low salary cap and potential?
