Jaguars’ Jalen Ramsey Reiterates Trade Demand

It doesn’t sound like things have softened between the Jaguars and Jalen Ramsey. On his latest podcast, Ramsey reiterated his demand for a trade. 

I’m not sure if I’ve played my final game for the Jags yet or not but my trade request still stands,” Ramsey said on the “17 Weeks” podcast (audio link) “Once respect is lost for both parties I think it is time to part ways.”

From Ramsey’s perspective, the respect has been gone for a while. The Jaguars have been unwilling to engage in serious talks with the cornerback and owner Shad Khan‘s recent efforts to reignite discussions haven’t moved the needle. Ramsey, of course, reciprocated the perceived lack of respect when he got in a heated argument with head coach Doug Marrone.

Despite the noise, Ramsey suited up to face the Titans last Thursday, but he’s likely played his last down in Jacksonville. This week, Ramsey many called shenanigans on the young star when he called out sick from practice with a mix of maladies, including back soreness, hamstring issues, and the flu. However, his latest excuse from work is as legitimate as it gets – Ramsey flew home to welcome his daughter into the world.

The Jaguars, sans Ramsey, will challenge the Broncos in Denver this weekend.
