Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey made headlines recently when he sent out a cryptic tweet that seemed to suggest a possible move away from Jacksonville.
But in an interview with Michael DiRocco of ESPN, Ramsey has reiterated his desire to stay with the Jaguars for his entire career.
“I've said multiple times, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again that I want to play for one team my whole career,” Ramsey said.
Morever, Ramsey went on to explain the meaning behind his tweet. He claims that it was meant for “fake fans” who have not stuck by the team amid their tough season.
“If that's what people want to do or if that's how people feel, then it's certain people, like y'all going to miss … we bring some good things,” Ramsey said. “And, yeah, we slipped up here recently. Not executed and played like we know we can. But, like whoever, the fake fans, if y'all [the media], whoever, if y'all want to jump ship, then, look, it is what it is.
“But y'all going to miss us when we either gone or when stuff back popping. We don't want y'all no more.”
The Jaguars have been one of the big disappointments of the season. After making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game last season, they are a mere 3-6 and will likely miss the postseason this year. Ramsey himself hasn’t been at his best. The All-Pro corner was particularly poor last week against the Colts, as a couple of his busted coverages led to costly touchdowns.
But despite Ramsey’s recent frustration, it seems he doesn’t plan on going anywhere and is committed to turning things back around.
