If they had no qualms about paying him big bucks, he'd have a new deal and this is all over. They're not going to because they don't have any plans.
Yep. They're waiting for their Herschel Walker haul. [Reply]
The Jags aren't going to trade Ramsey to a contender. They want first round picks and they don't want bottom 3rd picks like the Ravens or Chiefs can offer. [Reply]

If they trade him, they probably have no choice. Any team that trades for him will want to sign him to a new deal, especially if it's a shitty team, and he can just say he won't re-sign with them. That will force them to back out of trade talks. [Reply]

Certainly, Ramsey has the ability to test their patience and as the trade deadline gets closer, they may relax a bit. But right now, they obviously want a Ricky Williams, so they're not in any hurry. [Reply]

Yeah, speculation that they won't trade to a contender. For the right price, they'd trade regardless of draft position. Even if Gardner Minschew gets them to a 10 - 15 pick record wise, they can pair their pick with the first rounder the Chiefs would give them to move up into the top 5 to get their QB or whatever position they covet.
