NFL: ***OFFICIAL WEEK TWO THREAD***

[Dandy]

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.

I would rather see the Chiefs go after Patrick Peterson.

Yeah, makes sense. I don't know what an acceptable return would be for the Jags but it's not like they have a ton of leverage here. They have a disgruntled player and it's public knowledge that he wants out. The story is only going to become more of a distraction. Sucks for them but they made their bed. Get what you can and move on. I don't know what other options they have...try to fix the relationship between Ramsey and Marrone? Not likely. Fire Marrone and/or the DC in an attempt to appease Ramsey? Maybe, but it doesn't seem like Coughlin's style.

Yep. The Steelers and Dolphins deal for Fitzpatrick makes Ramsay hard to swallow for the Chiefs. If you got a first for Fitzpatrick in the 15-20 range, the Chiefs would have to offer a 1st (28-32 range) plus a third?

In addition, Ramsay is going to almost immediately want an extension (or probably pout like a baby), and the Chiefs already have huge deals for Chris Jones and Mahomes staring them in the face this offseason.

I would sit tight and see if Cardinals collapse and Peterson talks his FO into being reasonable for a late season trade.

Weird. The Jags are going to have to **** or get off the pot. It's a stupid gamble to keep him active if they're going to trade him. What happens if they play him on Thursday night and he breaks a leg or blows out a knee?
