Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey loves competition, and he loves the trash talk aspect of the game as much as the next player. Ramsey is nearing his fourth season in the NFL and is arguably one of the league's best cornerbacks despite only playing in the league for such a short time.
There have been numerous rumors and speculations this season that he may be traded rather than signed to a contract extension. According to Michael DiRocco of ESPN, Ramsey spoke on his future.
“Like I said, I'm going to let my agent and the front office handle that, but after what came out here, what was it five weeks ago or however many weeks ago it was, yeah I'm feeling like yeah, if y'all serious about that [a potential trade] not being real, then y'all need to make it happen,” Ramsey said. “If not, then maybe what came out five weeks ago will happen. We'll see.”
Ramsey will bring his competitive nature to any team whether it's the Jaguars or another team in the league and it's likely in either situation he will cost a pretty penny. Ramsey will get a nice payday from any team going forward and if he is in fact traded the asking price from Jacksonville will presumably be very high.
“Ramsey has one more year remaining on his rookie contract and is scheduled to earn $3.6 million in 2019, but the Jaguars can begin negotiating an extension after this season ends,” DiRocco said.
The future is very bright for Ramsey regardless of the situation.
