If the Jags make this move I have to think it would be the Chiefs, Eagles, or Saints. They all need secondary help. And they'd be getting arguably the best corner in the league for two years and about seventeen mil. That's a relative bargain.

The problem the Chiefs have is their scheme. Pretty sure they run zone but Ramsey wants to play man. I don't think he's nearly as good of a zone DB.
I think for that kind of talent you tweak your scheme for the player.
Makes sense. The Giants are going nowhere this season so they may as well find out what they have in Daniel Jones.
LOL. Come on now. Minshew's played reasonably well so far and Foles is likely back at some point this season. Why give up any assets for a guy who had no business starting for any team last year or the year before, let alone now?
Except that in some cases NBA players are actually engineering trades to where they want to play. I'm guessing Pittsburgh wasn't at the top of Minkah Fitzpatrick's list of trade destinations. Ramsey and Adams have no control over where they'll land via trade. Although in their cases anywhere is probably better than where they're stuck now.

Yeah, I don't have an issue with players wanting to get off a sinking ship. A guy like Minkah didn't sign up for a multiple year tank job. NFL careers are short. Jamal Adams has been a very good player on a very bad team for the past two years. And after last night, nobody could blame him for thinking that year three is going to be any different. And while he hasn't asked to get out yet, it's fully understandable if he's not as "Rah Rah" as he used to be. Players don't play in a vaccum.
Really, anyone's career could end on any one play. Loyalty in professional sports simply doesn't exist anymore. I'm not blaming the players for getting what they can.
When that happened, I thought for sure his ankle was snapped in two. Can't believe he walked off.
I can't believe I'm about the say this but the Jets need to call Kaepernick. Who the hell else is out there for them to add? Brandon Weeden?! Brock Osweiler?! Matt Cassel?! Come on.
Maybe Jacksonville's asking price is too high. They're looking for at least two first round picks. Ramsey said today that it wasn't his camp that leaked the news that he had requested a trade, which is interesting.
If Ramsey is looking for a new deal with another team, that complicates things a bit. For a contender he makes a ton of sense as a short term rental but maybe not as part of a long term plan.
