Jalen Ramsey's Agent Reportedly Requested Trade After Jaguars' Week 2 Loss
By Michael Luciano
Arguably the best cornerback in the league could be on the move following a very public fight with his coach.
With his Jacksonville Jaguars now 0-2 and coming off a loss to the Houston Texans in which he was seen fighting on the sideline with head coach Doug Marrone, cornerback Jalen Ramsey wants out after his agent requested a trade. While Jacksonville has spoken with other teams, the Jags have no immediate plans to trade him.

The Jaguars have spoken with interested teams, but there is no current plan to trade Ramsey.
Ramsey has been everything Jacksonville has hoped he would be when they used the fifth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft on the former Florida State Seminole, as he's recorded 60+ tackles in every year he's played in addition to nine total interceptions since his debut. He's made two Pro Bowls and earned one First-Team All-Pro selection.
The Jaguars, for all their offensive struggles in the last few years, have maybe the best cornerback tandem in the league between Ramsey and AJ Bouye, but that could be no more sooner than we think.
Sources: #Jaguars Pro Bowl CB Jalen Ramsey has requested a trade from the team. This stems from his frustration with how he’s being used and from a confrontation with coach Doug Marrone on Sunday. This has been steadily building.

All 31 other teams should be vying for Ramsey's services if Jacksonville does show an inclination of moving him, especially a contender like the Chiefs, who need help in the secondary.
