(I'm not one who wants to trade him but I also think he is way overreacting and that his frustration comes mostly from not being resigned with the big bag more than anything else, the man-to-man thing sounds just as an excuse as he perfectly knew coming into the season how we play)

The one thing that disappoints me the most is not the fact Ramsey wants to be traded. It's the timing. 

If he did this in the offseason...fine. Not happy of course, but I can understand that. 
If he quietly went to the FO saying that if things (whatever is REAL issue is) won't change he wants out before the trade deadline...I'd understand that.

He CHOSE to do this, this way, after throwing a tantrum for a damn challenge on a 3 yard play in the first quarter (perfectly knowing how the challenge process works), 3 days ahead of a crucial game for this season. 
He chose to do it 3 days later after saying he had a great talk with Todd Wash and thanking him for letting him play man-to-man with Hopkins.
He chose to disrupt any momentum this team might have had going with Minshew showing promise, after a very very good defensive game finally against a possible MVP (at least in the minds of many, Jalen included) by putting this out NOW. 
He chose to quit basically and him being right or wrong about it this was not the time a professional does it. He saw Antonio Brown and went for it.



That's entirely selfish and while his problems aren't with his teammates it's really unfair towards them too. 

The timing is what I hate the most about this situation.

I don't think it's unprofessional to want out of an awful organisation at any point. He's likely wanted out for some time.
