Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey talked and talked all summer long. No player, no subject was off limits. The moment he decided to make those comments, was the moment he became a villain. Here’s the thing about talking, you have to make sure you can back it up, and at this point, Ramsey and the Jaguars have not done that.
At 3-6, and on a five-game losing streak, the Jaguars have to win most if not all of their remaining seven games to get to the playoffs, and that starts on Sunday at home against the Steelers.
Earlier this week, Ramsey sent out an interesting tweet about his future in Jacksonville. In case you missed it, here you go:

On Thursday, Ramsey discussed his future in Jacksonville:
“I have said multiple times over and over and over and over and over and over and over, over and over again, I want to play for one team my whole career,” Ramsey said. “I don’t control that, but it is what it is.
“As far as I’m concerned … I will say two things about that. No. 1, I have one more year in my rookie year contract. They have the option to pick up my fifth-year option next year. That would take it to two years left on the contract. Or if they wanted, they can extend me. If it’s right, we will get that done. Then, I will be here for a number of years. If not, I have the fifth-year option they could pick up and then they could franchise me. I could be here for a while. I don’t know how they are feeling in the front office, but they could let go of me, they could trade me.
“Another thing – I play Madden all the time. I’m not that good at Madden. But I play Madden all the time. I play with the Jags. I play with myself. I don’t trade myself. I don’t make any trades on the team. I play with the Jags. I lose a couple times, but I bounce back. I always bounce back. I play corner, I play punt returner on there, too. I get a little punt returner in there. But, yeah, I play with the Jags. I don’t trade myself.”
There you have it, Ramsey wants to stay in Jacksonville. Hopefully, during the offseason, Ramsey will learn his lesson and watch what he says because it can and will be used against him.
