The Bears viewed Mack as their missing piece to contend, they viewed themselves as contenders, which is why they moved so much to get him. + They had cap

The Texans are in desperation mode under BOB, they HAVE to contend this year or he's gone, and he's GM so they make the move + they had cap. If they didn't have enough cap to eventually extend Tunsil without losing key players they wouldn't have done the deal. Same with the Bears.

The number of teams in the NFL who fill the criteria of A) Being in a position to contend and B) Have tons of cap and C) Jalen will want to resign there long term is very small. 

So even if Jalens value is 2 1sts, the number of teams who can actually do a deal is nearly none.

He's not gonna get it, or refuse to admit it if he somehow does, but you're right. It's a very small pool.  Not just "anyone with cap space." 

(But we know he's just grasping at straws to further his "Ramsey isn't really any good" agenda)

For instance the Chiefs likely are a team Jalen wants to play for + they are contending....but they are also about to make the biggest QB contract of all time in a year or so + Chris Jones will get a top 5 defensive tackle salary. So fitting the biggest corner back contract of all time into that is hard. 

So if they think Ramsey will simply be a one year or two year rental for them....well that reduces the amount of capital they will move for him and conversely, The Jags will be more hesitant to move him there if the deal isn't up to par. 

Maybe we should have traded Ramsey for Will Grier after all..
