On Ramsey
“We want to have players who are committed to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who can help us win,” Khan said. “If not, we want to get fair value out of that.”

On Yannick 
Khan said he doesn’t expect Ramsey’s departure to affect Ngakoue’s situation.

“I don’t think that impacts that,” Khan said. “We’ve had we thought a very, very good offer [to Ngakoue this past offseason]. But I think Yannick is a great player. Our goal is we want him to be part of the team.”

On Minshew 
“For me, we were not getting out of this draft … I didn’t care if we took a quarterback in the first round,” Khan said. “We needed somebody. That’s something in the six prior years of my tenure we just had not been able to get done – which is have a competent backup.

“The phrase I used with [Executive Vice President of Football Operations] Tom [Coughlin] and [Head Coach] Doug [Marrone] was, ‘Where’s our Nick Foles, who God forbid if something happens is going to come in and help us?’ … I told them, ‘We’re taking a quarterback who if God forbid something happens is going to give us a fighting chance. You guys tell me which round, value, blah, blah, blah.’”

I am glad he is involved in some of the personnel information. He seems more than financially invested. It tells me the man is more than a bean counting business man. It may mean he has an emotional investment in Jacksonville and concern himself with his legacy in the city. 

However, someone should inform him we found our Nick Foles, which is Nick Foles, backing up starting quarterback Minshew. Ha!
