Jaguars Reportedly Have No Deal in Place for Jalen Ramsey as Likelihood of Trade Thins
By Karl Rasmussen
Jalen Ramsey was hoping to be a member of a new franchise by now, but with the Sunday slate of Week 3 action set to get underway, the star cornerback has yet to get dealt by the Jaguars.
And according to Ian Rapoport, the likelihood of a deal getting done is getting lesser by the day. Rapoport reports that the Jags currently do not have a trade in place for the former Florida State star, though his request to be traded has not been revoked.
After a week of speculation, the #Jaguars currently have no deal in the works to trade star CB Jalen Ramsey, and one source said the longer this goes on, the more likely it is he stays. Meanwhile, Ramsey’s trade request still stands. The wait for clarity continues.

Ramsey initially requested a trade following Jacksonville's Week 2 loss to the Houston Texans. He was seen in a verbal altercation, that nearly turned physical, with head coach Doug Marrone, though it was later reported that Tom Coughlin was the reason Ramsey wants to be dealt.
Still, if the reports of Baltimore's generous offer-- a first and second round pick alongside young tight end Hayden Hurst-- wasn't enough to pique the Jags' interest, it's possible teams are getting scared off by the asking price.
A handful of sources told @nfldraftscout the Chiefs “are the most likely destination”"for Jalen Ramsey.

Another source thinks the Jags might want Ramsey out of the AFC and named the Eagles and Lions as surprise landing spots. ?https://t.co/Ez7tyPQFhQ pic.twitter.com/yh8rub5TEm
Multiple teams have been linked with Ramsey, though most notably the Ravens and Chiefs. While no deal has come to light yet, it remains entirely possible that the star corner gets traded, and soon.
