Signs are pointing towards the Kansas City Chiefs trading for Jalen Ramsey, and as the rumors swirl, Tyreek Hill is tweeting at the Jacksonville Jaguars star.
Six minutes after Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported that there is a “strong sentiment” from NFL general managers that Ramsey will end up with the Chiefs, Hill tagged him in a tweet with two words, “let's go.”

After a sideline blowup with coach Doug Marrone on Sunday, Ramsey's representatives went to the Jaguars and requested a trade. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, one of the big reason's that Ramsey wants a trade is he wants to be a true lockdown corner in man-to-man coverage and the Jaguars play a lot of zone.
One of the best pure cover corners, Jalen Ramsey wants to play man-to-man and lock a WR down. One issue has been having him play zone https://t.co/7RIlT8bx4X

If that is one of the big sticking points for Ramsey, the Chiefs might not be the best landing spot for him. Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo plays a lot of zone coverage, but maybe the idea of competing for a Super Bowl would be enough to change Ramsey's mind. Spagnuolo could also decide that Ramsey is a good enough player that he would decide to run more man-to-man coverage to make him happy.
The Chiefs called earlier this offseason about Patrick Peterson, and they have made it clear they are trying to win a Super Bowl soon and trading a first-round draft pick to the Jaguars would be worth it, if he would help lead them to a Super Bowl.
The Chiefs have the offense to win it all, the questions revolve around the defense, and Ramsey would help answer some of those questions.
