Citing two opposing team executives, Yahoo
Sports reports that Khan is not only insisting on a price tag of
two "quality" first-round picks but also would rather keep
Ramsey and sign him to a long-term extension. The report adds
that Khan is setting the bar for a deal but is not involved
directly in negotiations with other teams, frustrating potential
suitors.
"The idea that nothing has changed [in the trade dynamic] is
wrong," Yahoo quoted one executive as saying. "Ownership is
obviously involved and a hurdle to overcome."
Among the teams that remain interested in Ramsey are the Seattle
Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland
Raiders and Baltimore Ravens, according to the report.
Not long after Ramsey's trade demand entering Week 3, most
believed the cornerback could be had for a package involving
first- and second-round picks, with a deal possible as soon as
Sept. 20.
Ramsey played in the Jaguars' Thursday night game on Sept. 19,
then missed practices this week due to an illness, a back injury
and the birth of his daughter. He did not play in Sunday's 26-24
victory over the Denver Broncos, the first game he's missed in
his career.
The 24-year-old reiterated his trade request this week during an
appearance on Uninterrupted's "17 Weeks" podcast on Sirius XM.
"I'm not sure if I've played my final game for the Jags yet or
not, but my trade request still stands. For me, respect is a
huge thing," Ramsey said. "I kinda touched on it a little bit
last week in last week's podcast, but once respect is lost for
both parties, I think it is time to part ways."
Ramsey has 17 tackles and one forced fumble in three games this
season. He has nine interceptions and 45 passes defensed in his
career.
